How to make Clearing work for you: an event by The Guardian Universities

Published: 03/08/2021

Do you have a sibling, friend or loved one who is applying to university this year? Then you might want to let them know about this free event from The Guardian Universities.

Nearly 70,000 students were accepted through clearing in 2020 according to UCAS. Clearing can be a stressful time for students, but it doesn’t have to be. At this event, a panel of experts, including Amy Smith, NTU’s Associate Director of Admissions and Student Recruitment, will run through some top tips to help them best prepare. Topics of discussion will include:

  • How to make a good impression when contacting universities.
  • How to stay calm in stressful, fast-moving situations.
  • How to know if the university offering you a place is right for you.
  • How to go about "trading up" your university place if you've done better than expected.

Plus, guests will get to hear from students who have experienced Clearing in the past.

The event starts at 6 pm on Tuesday 3 August and tickets are free.
