If you've already got your results, haven't already got an offer from a university or want to rethink your options, you can apply for an undergraduate course through our international Clearing enquiry form.
We welcome Clearing applications from all qualified applicants - whether you've applied to us previously, changed your study plans after receiving results, or you're applying to universities for the first time.
Follow this simple step-by-step guide to make your Clearing application.
This guidance is for international students only (classed as 'overseas' for tuition fees purposes).
We'll update your offer once we receive your results (via UCAS or from you, depending on what exams you have taken).
In some cases we may still be able to accept students who have narrowly missed the grades stated in your offer conditions, so please wait for us to assess your results and update your offer.
See our guidance on results day and submitting exam results.
