ESSENTIAL STEPS TO CLEARING
Our guide to Clearing explains what Clearing is, how it works and when you can apply. It also arms you with tips on how to make the most of Clearing.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
By the end of your first year, you will have a new understanding of yourself, and your unique talents, skills and gifts. You will know what your ideal job looks like to you.
Once you successfully complete your first year, you can choose what undergraduate degree you want to focus on to suit your talent and desired career ambitions. And we will guarantee you a place (some courses may require an audition or interview).
WHAT IS CLEARING?
for employability - 9/10 of our graduates are in employment or further education within 6 months.
For Quality Education in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2020.
Our campuses are in some of the country’s most unique locations, across city, country and coast.
GET READY TO START
We will guide you every step of the way, from choosing your course, learning more about life at Cumbria, to finding a new home and getting your finances in place.
Clearing is simply another way to secure a place at university.
Clearing starts 6 July and closes 20 October. If you haven't met the entry requirements for your course, or haven't received an offer, you are automatically entered into Clearing. If you have only just decided to go to university now or waited to apply late you can do this during Clearing.
You can apply for a course as soon as you receive your exam results. For most students, this will be BTEC and A-Level results days (which are both in August) but if you're studying other qualifications, such as an Access course, it may be sooner.
Our Clearing hotline is now open, you can speak to our friendly team about your options.
