Clearing is a process that universities will go through in order to fill out the remaining
places on their courses. If you didn’t meet the conditions of any of the offers you received
from the universities you applied to, you will enter the Clearing process, which allows you to
apply to another university instead.
You will also take part in the Clearing process if you have declined an offer at your firm
choice, if you didn’t receive any offers or if you paid the multiple-choice application fee to
UCAS.
Searching for courses isn’t a problem because most universities will advertise any courses that
still have spaces available and most uni course searches will have a Clearing filter and provide
you with a lost of degree courses for you to choose from.
