How does University Clearing work?
1. From 5 July, you can apply for a course through Clearing at the University of Northampton if:
- you already have your exam results, but you have no offers
- you didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
- you didn’t receive any offers (or none that you wanted to accept)
- you’ve declined your firm place using ‘decline my place’ in UCAS Hub
- you’re reconsidering your firm place choice and are considering the University of Northampton
- you have not made any applications to UCAS this year
2. Look through our courses and identify the ones that interest you.
3. Contact us by telephone or online form to see if we can offer you a place through university clearing. No matter what grades you received, give us a call and talk to our tutors who will look for the most appropriate course for you.
4. You need to accept our offer. This needs to be accepted according to the instructions in your offer email. You cannot accept our offer through UCAS whilst you are holding a firm choice elsewhere, you will need to decline your firm place using ‘decline my place’ in UCAS Hub.
5. You should submit any qualifications, certificates and forms we need. Then, we will confirm your place and you will receive an official letter from UCAS.
Please note: last date to enrol is Friday 17 October 2025.

Integrated Foundation Year
“Initially I knew I would not receive the grades required for a three-year degree programme, so I applied for the foundation study framework because I knew it would prepare me for studying at a university standard.”
We want to support you with the transition to higher education. That’s why our four-year courses enable you to successfully follow the degree pathway of your choice, while gaining essential study skills.
