Understanding Clearing
Clearing is the process universities use to fill remaining course places. You can apply via Clearing from Friday 2 July 2027, if you:
- Didn’t receive any offers (or don’t want to accept the one you have)
- Didn’t meet the conditions of your offer
- Declined your place via UCAS Hub
- Are applying after the main application cycle has ended
How Clearing works
If you already have your exam results and haven’t applied through UCAS, you can use Clearing from Friday 2 July 2027.
If you’re waiting on results, keep an eye on your UCAS Hub on Results Day, Thursday 12 August 2027. If you become eligible for Clearing, an ‘Add a Clearing choice’ button will appear, and our Clearing Hotline will be ready to guide you through the next steps.

Here are the steps you must follow:

- If you’re successful, we’ll offer you an unconditional place, which will be instantly confirmed.
If you have had conditional offers, but your exam results have not been quite what you were expecting, you can use Clearing.
Keep an eye on your UCAS Hub, and if you become eligible to use Clearing, an “Add a Clearing choice” button will become available in the “Your Choices” section.
Here is what you will need to do:
- Obtain your Clearing Number
- Call BIMM Music Institute on 01273 096 406 to provide your Clearing and ID Numbers and check there are places available on your desired course.

All Clearing places are offered as unconditional acceptances. This means there are no provisional offers. To secure your place, you must meet any necessary academic requirements and successfully complete an audition or interview. Once both are confirmed, your place will be officially accepted.
If you’ve had conditional offers but your exam results didn’t quite go according to plan, you can use Clearing on Results Day (Thursday 13th August).
