How does it work? &#8211; and everything else you need to know about the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So sit tight and let\u2019s get started!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_this_%E2%80%9CClearing%E2%80%9D_and_why_is_it_conducted\"><\/span><b>What is this \u201cClearing\u201d and why is it conducted?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearing is how various universities and colleges fill any places they still have on their courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This system is set up by UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) and is quite popular among students going for a bachelor\u2019s course in the UK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is conducted to give students a second chance at getting a place at university, by matching them to universities with unfilled places.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_key_dates_and_who_can_you_use_Clearing\"><\/span><b>What are the key dates and who can you use Clearing?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we all know timing plays an important role in everything and the same is true for Clearing as well. From 5 July \u2013 19 October, you can apply for a course using Clearing if you are not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course still has places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>You can use Clearing only if:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re applying after 30 June<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You didn\u2019t receive any offers (or none you wanted to accept)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You didn\u2019t meet the conditions of your offers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve paid the multiple-choice application fee of \u00a326<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve declined your firm place using the \u2018decline my place\u2019 button in Track<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Are_The_Top_Universities_For_Clearing_2021\"><\/span><b>Which Are The Top Universities For Clearing 2021?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, around three-quarters of all UK universities fill their remaining places through Clearing every year. In 2020, around 70,000 students found their desired programme through this process. However, not every university will have places available in Clearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>So, here are the top 15 higher education institutions in the UK that are providing undergraduate spots in at least five different courses in Clearing in 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Loughborough University<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Lancaster University<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Warwick<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Bristol<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Exeter<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Leeds<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Birmingham<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Southampton<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of York<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Manchester<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Strathclyde<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Dundee<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Aberdeen<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of Nottingham<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>University of East Anglia<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Clearing_Plus_and_how_it_is_different_from_Clearing\"><\/span><b>What is Clearing Plus and how it is different from Clearing?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearing Plus is a new tool, designed to help students find their perfect course and will be available alongside Clearing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Clearing Plus, UCAS will personally match you to courses you may be interested in, using what they know about you from your application, and what universities and colleges are looking for in a student.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>NOTE:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Clearing Plus isn\u2019t available for everyone. If you\u2019re unsuccessful with your application or are applying for the first time for a place in Clearing, then only you\u2019ll be able to use Clearing Plus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year UCAS provides this excellent opportunity of Clearing to re-think if you are unsure about a course, or wondering if you will be best using your skillset. Lots of universities have easy-to-view course information online and can also view your application and officially accept you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know in which city you\u2019ll study, the next step is to look for accommodation. There is a high chance that by the time your place is confirmed, the on-campus accommodation would be sold out. But you don\u2019t have to worry because there are still many great off-campus alternatives available for grab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Check out our website to book from a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/\"><strong>student housing<\/strong><\/a> options.
