UCAS Clearing

Clearing is the UCAS service that helps people without a university or college place to find suitable vacancies on higher education courses. Some people decide at the last minute that they would like to do a higher education course, but most Clearing applicants have been unsuccessful in earlier applications.

This year with added pressure on higher education places, vacancies through Clearing may be limited and the process quite short and swift.

Before rushing into Clearing you may want to consider all your options and take some time to research the courses youre interested in. You may want to reassess your plans; you could think about taking a gap year, finding work or perhaps taking more qualifications.
