International Clearing
Our university is dedicated to assisting international students through Clearing in the UK, providing support and guidance to ensure a smooth transition and successful start to your academic journey.
What is Clearing?
Clearing is a UK university admissions process that helps students find courses with vacancies if they didn't meet offer conditions, missed deadlines or want to explore other options, contacting us directly to secure a place. For international students, Clearing is a flexible way to apply later in the year and meet specific academic and English language requirements to start your studies in the UK.
