Clearing applications open from 1 July

You can’t apply through Clearing until 1 July, when courses with available places are listed. However, you don’t need to wait until then to start preparing.

Exploring your options now can help you understand what’s available and what you might need. Looking at entry requirements and shortlisting courses early means you’ll be in a stronger position to act when Clearing opens and places begin to fill.

How to get ready
  • Before 1 July, explore our courses, sign up for Clearing entry requirements and get weekly course updates so you know where you stand.
  • If you’re unsure, speak to us - the earlier you get in touch, the more we can help you get where you need to be.
  • Sign up for our step-by-step Clearing guidance so you know what to do and when.
