What is Clearing?
Clearing gives you another opportunity to find the best course for you - whether you've changed your mind, your results surprised you, or you're just starting to think about going to university.
Clearing at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú could be the perfect option.
Nana
I'm really glad that I applied for Clearing. It definitely paid off.
Cristina
Clearing is a process of applying to university after the deadline for applying for your uni. So if you decide to change your course or to change your university, Clearing is how you can get into those universities.
Jess
I had originally applied to ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú to do Sociology with Criminology, and then decided the course probably wasn't for me. So very, very last minute I decided in the summer that I wanted to switch courses and I found International Development and then it was too late to change through the normal application process, so I decided, well, the only option was to go through Clearing.
Nana
It was very nerve-wracking. I was afraid that I'd end up with nothing. However, that definitely wasn't the case and there was so much support and information online that was given to me. So it was quite straightforward. It wasn't difficult or scary at all.
Jess
It was surprisingly super, super easy. I was put in touch with my course leader and it was all sorted within the hour, basically, after results.
Senura
The first thing I would say to somebody applying through Clearing is, don't panic.
Fatima
Keep positive and less worried when applying to the Clearing process.
Jess
It's actually very quick and very easy.
Cristina
Literally, the whole process of Clearing took me less than 24 hours.
Max
Whether it's enrolling you to a course that you wanted or even just providing information for you, the Clearing team will always have your back.
Nana
I definitely recommend anyone that's worried to just go with their instinct and do it.
Max
I'm really happy with the choice I've made. Things don't go according to plan on purpose and it happens for the best.
Fatima
I felt relieved knowing I’d gotten what I wanted and my dream was about to come true.
