What is Clearing and how do I apply?

Clearing is your opportunity to explore your options and get another chance to apply for the course you really want to study.

When Clearing opens on 5 July 2025 you can apply if:

  • You haven't applied for university yet, but want to start a course in September
  • You've applied for university but not met the conditions of your firm or insurance choice (i.e., you aren't holding any offers for a place at a university or college)
  • You've changed your mind about the offer you're holding at another university or college and want to study with us instead
  • You've changed your mind about the offer you're holding with us and want to study a different course

You can apply to us by calling our helpline or completing our online Clearing self-apply form.
