What is clearing?

When exam results are released on Thursday, 15th August, 2024, some students may have missed the grades in their conditional offers. Others may have done better than they expected or feel unhappy about the universities they originally applied for.

Clearing gives every applicant the chance to take stock, change direction and apply for an alternative course at a different university, if they wish.
