How does Clearing work?
During clearing, you can contact different universities and colleges to see what undergraduate courses they have available for the upcoming academic year. You can contact as many Universities as you want and get as many offers as you want. Just be mindful that you can only choose one course and one College/University to add as your clearing choice, and every institution will have deadlines for you to respond by.
You can start applying as soon as you have all your grades. You will receive these on or around A-Level results Day. Other qualifications, such as BTEC, SQA and QCF & RCF qualifications, will also be released on this day. Some results are released earlier, this includes International Baccalaureate (IB) results, which are expected in July.
For some courses you will be issued with an offer straight away (pending proof of qualifications). With others, you may be asked to complete an interview, portfolio, or an alternative check, such as a DBS, before any offers are confirmed.
When does Clearing open?
Clearing opens on Wednesday 5th July 2023 and continues until the end of August and often into September. (If you have your results, you can start Clearing!)
