Clearing

Clearing is the system that matches applicants who don’t have an offer with universities that still have places available. It's a great way to find another course if you didn't get the grades you expected and you missed out on your firm or insurance choice. You'll be able to find universities with vacancies and contact them directly to see if they will offer you a place.

You can use Clearing if you:

• Didn’t receive any offers.
• Declined all your offers.
• Didn’t get the grades you needed for a conditional offer.
• Got the grades you needed but have changed your mind about where you want to study.
• Haven’t made any applications.

Yes, we still have spaces in our accommodation. You'll be able to apply for accommodation within 24 hours of adding Leicester as your Clearing choice on UCAS. At Leicester, you are guaranteed a place in University-managed accommodation if you apply before 1 September.

You can come and view our campus and accommodation on an Open Day or on a campus tour. Book your place, we’d love to meet you. 

Being a university student will be the most rewarding, fun and challenging experience of your life. You will meet and make friends for life, you will work hard to become an expert in your subject and you will be propelled into a fantastic career. Choosing the right course and university is very important, you want somewhere you will feel at home, somewhere that suits your interests and somewhere you will learn from the very best. Check out why Leicester could be this place by chatting to our current students about why they love studying here.
