What is Clearing?
Clearing is part of the application cycle for universities. It's an opportunity for applicants who have made a UCAS undergraduate application but do not hold any offers, to be matched to university places that haven't yet been filled.
Whether you're a parent or guardian of an applicant or an applicant yourself, we're here to support you. You can call us and we'll be able to give relevant information to inform your journey.
