How does it work?
On A-level results day, places on courses can become available because other applicants miss their offers or choose to swap for something else.
Clearing allows you to see what's available at a higher tariff and, if you wish, to switch to a new course.
Any conditional or unconditional offers you've accepted will still be valid if you look for options through Clearing. You'll be able to talk with our teams before making a decision.
