Clearing
Clearing is open from Monday 5 July to Tuesday 19 October 2021. From this date you can apply for university courses after you have received your results. Sign up for Clearing updates.

Apply through Clearing if:
- you’ve not met the conditions of your firm and insurance choices
- you’ve changed your mind about where or what you want to study
- you've not yet applied to a university and are looking to start in 2021.
Apply through Adjustment if:
- you’ve met or exceeded the conditions of your offer and you want to look at other options. Your firm offer is secure until you accept a new offer
- adjustment typically opens from August to September – UCAS will confirm this date shortly.

Apply for your place now
We are accepting applications up to Wednesday 30 June 2021 through UCAS. If you have already made five choices, you can apply through UCAS Extra*. Any applications received after this date will automatically go through Clearing.
Visit our application page.
*UCAS Extra allows you to keep applying for higher education courses even if you've already used up your original five choices, as long as you applied through UCAS and are not holding any offers or waiting for a decision on any of your initial five applications.
