What is Clearing?
Clearing is how universities and colleges fill any places they still have on their courses.
From Wednesday 5th July, you can apply for a course using Clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course still has places.
You can use Clearing if:
- You’re applying after 30th June
- You didn’t receive any offers
- You didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
- You’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in UCAS Hub
How Clearing Works
If you already have your exam results, and you did not submit a UCAS application in the main scheme, you can use Clearing now.
If you have had conditional offers, but maybe didn’t achieve the grades you needed for your initial UCAS choices, you can use Clearing from 8:30am on results day (Thursday 17th August) when universities and colleges place a list of their vacancies on the UCAS website. You will be able to add a choice from 1pm on this day.
There are no offers through clearing, just unconditional acceptances. For BIMM Institute, this means we have to confirm that you’ve met any necessary academic requirements and have been successful in an audition/interview before we can accept you on a course.
BIMM courses available through Clearing
We’ve published a full list of BIMM Institute courses which still have vacancies, which you can browse via the UCAS search tool.
