What are the Clearing dates?

If you're not immediately successful, don't give up. Keep ringing – your persistence will pay off. Calls are best as emails may not be responded to immediately.

 

Remember, getting a place through Clearing isn't as difficult as it sounds, and you may be surprised at the number of vacancies. However, depending on your results there'll be uk university courses that'll be unattainable, and recognizing this early on will save you a lot of time.

 

What are the Clearing dates?

UCAS Clearing runs from early July (the same day International Baccalaureate (IB) results are published) until late October.

 

While you can't apply through Clearing until you have your results, you should avoid being in Clearing all the way up to the October deadline. The longer you leave it, the fewer places will be available.

 

See the full breakdown of this year's application deadlines.

 





How will you know if you're in Clearing?

Your UCAS Track status will say ‘you are in Clearing’ or ‘Clearing has started’.

 

If you didn’t match the entry requirements but your Track status doesn't say you’re in Clearing, it could mean your results haven't been updated or the universities are still considering your application.

 

Which universities accept students for studying in uk through Clearing?

There’s a stereotype associated with Clearing that only less prestigious universities will have spaces available. This isn't true at all.

 

With the number of university applications decreasing in recent years and a lifting of the cap on numbers, more universities have spaces they look to fill through Clearing. Many of the universities in our top 20 have courses available.

 

Can you reject your insurance offer and go through Clearing instead?

Yes, you can now self-release yourself into Clearing.

 

You no longer have to wait to be released by your insurance choice, but can do it yourself, saving valuable time.

Appealing your A Level results

Can you change your mind about your course if going through Clearing?

You can. You'll need to get in touch with the uni you originally applied to and ask to be released (make sure you do this as soon as you can). After they release you, you'll be entered into Clearing.

 

Will universities go below their usual entry requirements during Clearing?

Within the context of Clearing, they may well go lower than the offer listed on their prospectus.

 

It depends how much demand each university and course has, as well as the grades of other interested students. The best way to find out is to ask the universities directly.

University entry requirements

If you get multiple offers through Clearing, can you put them all into UCAS Track?

You can only add one Clearing choice at a time to Track. If the university doesn't confirm your place, you can then add another.

 

You’ve applied for deferred entry to university and have been unsuccessful with both your Conditional Firm (CF) and Conditional Insurance (CI) choices. Can you go through Clearing or will you have to reapply?

You can go through Clearing.

 

You have nothing to lose, so if you don't get a deferred place you can just reapply. Make sure to be clear you want a deferred place with the university.

 

Is it true you can't enter Clearing until you've been declined by your choices?

Not at all.

Foundation Stage Profile and Baseline Assessment

  In 2002 statutory baseline assessments were replaced by the foundation stage profile. Some schools continue to use both. The purpose of base-line assessment (usually carried out during the first term in the reception year) was to enable the reception teacher to plan their teaching to match individual children's needs and eventually to judge the child's progress against this initial baseline assessment. The basic skills of speaking and listening, reading, writing, mathematics and personal and social development are assessed. The Foundation Stage Profile has 13 summary scales covering the six areas of learning, which have to be completed for each child in state education by the end of his or her time in the foundation stage. The areas of assessment are: Personal, social and emotional development (how the child works, interacts and cooperates with others) Communication, language and literacy (listening, speaking, reading and writing skills) Mathematical dev...

Homework and Grades

  According to the world university rankings compiled by the Times Higher Education, more than half of the world’s top 200 universities are located in either the US or the UK. Both countries share a rich tradition of quality higher education, excellent research facilities, and a culture that promotes intellectualism as well as academic freedom. However, while both certainly provide an excellent environment for learning, there are many differences between the two countries regarding the structure of the university as well as student life. In this article, we will explore the primary differences between the American and British systems of education.   Length of Time Perhaps the most important difference between the education system in the US, and the UK, is the amount of time it takes to finish your degree (except in Scotland, where a bachelor’s degree also lasts four years). In general, degree programs in the US take about one year longer than programs in the UK, although...
