Last year, 77,110 students used Clearing to find a space at university, with 26,000 of them declining places at their chosen university and using Clearing to find a new course.
This year, Clearing opens on 2 July and runs until 19 October. You can apply for a number of reasons, including if you didn’t receive any offers, you declined the offers you were initially given, you didn’t meet the required results on conditional offers, or you did better than expected and want to trade up to a course or university with higher entry requirements.
