What you need to know about Clearing

The first thing you need to know about Clearing is that it isn’t complicated – and we’re here to guide you through it.
Clearing is a service that UCAS offers, enabling universities to fill remaining spaces on their courses and giving you the opportunity to find a place at university.

The idea is that you look at our courses and identify the ones that interest you. You then contact us directly on 01604 214808, to see if we can offer you a place.

You’ll need to give us your Clearing number (which you’ll find on the ‘welcome’ and ‘choices’ pages in Track, and your Personal ID number; which lets us see your application online.

Before you call us, please ensure that you:

• Have your UCAS ID and clearing number handy


• Have full details of all your relevant qualifications to hand, including your final marks, and any details of projects, essays or modules that you think are particularly relevant to your chosen course.


• Have up to date contact details that you can give the university in case we need to get in touch with you at short notice.



Call us on 01604 214808 if you have any questions or concerns about the clearing process or to book a place on a course.
