What you need to know

When Clearing opens in early July 2019, you'll be able to apply to us using our web application form or by email. Once Hot Clearing opens in August, you can make applications and will be able to receive offers over the phone.

When we open, you need to first check out our available courses (make sure you have your grades to hand when you get in touch too). If you have made a UCAS application this year, have your UCAS number ready too.

If you have the necessary qualifications at the required level, we can take your Clearing application over the phone.

And if we're not able to make an immediate offer, your application will be passed to an Undergraduate Admissions Selector and you will then receive a decision from us via email or by phone.
