Clearing Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Clearing? We're here to help!
Clearing is a process that happens every year that helps you find a course, at a university that has places available.
It is an opportunity to find a course that is right for you, whether you’ve changed your mind about where and what you want to study, or you’ve just decided you want to go to university this year or you didn’t get the results you were planning.
Clearing is a way in which you can apply for university if you don't have a confirmed place.
For some people this might be because they didn't get the grades they needed for either their firm or insurance offers, but there are lots of other reasons Clearing could be the right route into university.
You can use Clearing if:
- You've changed your mind about what or where you want to study
- You've just thought about going to university recently
- You've taken a break from education and now want to explore the possibilities of university
- You have had different grades than expected or not got the offer you want
Thousands of students use Clearing every year to find a place at university. Whatever your situation, Clearing could help you start your exciting journey studying at the University of Roehampton.
