<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/clearing">Clearing</a> is a process that matches applicants with universities and colleges that have places yet to be filled. </p> <p>From <strong>5 July to 21 October 2024</strong>, you can apply for one of our courses using Clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college. </p> <p>Clearing presents an opportunity for applicants who have changed their minds about their original UCAS choice, declined their offers, not received the grades they expected or made a last minute decision to start study this year.</p>

<p dir="ltr">More than 50,000 students each year find their place through Clearing. Clearing is open to everyone, including students receiving their results this summer, late applicants and mature learners. </p> <p dir="ltr">You can use Clearing if:</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">You want to start a degree in September 2024</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">You submitted your UCAS application after 30 June</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">You didn't receive any offers (conditional or unconditional)</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">You rejected the offers you received</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">You didn't achieve the grades required</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">You’ve paid the multiple choice application fee of £27.50</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">You’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in UCAS Hub</p></li></ul>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Clearing is open from 5 July</strong> <strong>until 21 October 2024</strong>, so there is plenty of time to make your mind up and put in an application. Courses may fill up fast though, so it’s best to speak directly to our Admissions team.</p> <p dir="ltr">If you already have your qualifications or have made a last minute decision to start creative study, you can make an application immediately. You can call our Clearing Hotline <strong>+44 (0) 1752 203402 </strong>or <a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=447722744184&amp;text=&amp;source=&amp;data=">Whatsapp <strong>07722 744184</strong></a> and our Admissions teams will help you with your next steps.
