Clearing 2025 is now open

What is Clearing?

Clearing is a way for applicants who have received their exam results to secure a place at university starting in September 2025.

This will usually be applicants who:

  • Haven't already applied to university
  • Are applying after 30 June 2025
  • Have applied through UCAS but aren't holding any offers, or none that they want to accept
  • Have changed their mind about their choice of university or course
  • Didn’t meet the conditions of their offers or their results are better than expected
  • Have declined their firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in UCAS Track

What courses do we offer?

We offer degrees in Business and Entrepreneurship, Equine, Rural Land Management, Real Estate, Environment and Wildlife, as well as Agriculture. You will be provided with the skills and knowledge you need for all the opportunities ahead - benefiting from courses developed with industry partners and an award-winning enterprise and employability programme. Full course details are here.
