What is Clearing?

Clearing is a process students can use to search and apply for undergraduate courses.

It's open for a short time, usually between July and August, to apply for courses starting in September of the same year.

You might use Clearing if your results are different to what you expected, or if you change your mind about which university or course you want to choose.
