Clearing application

Whether you already have your results or you're still waiting for them, you can start your application today.

Still waiting for your results?

Complete our application form before results day and join Clearing Fast Track.

If you're eligible, we'll automatically send you an offer on results day. This isn't a commitment - it's simply a way of keeping your options open, so you can spend results day choosing, not chasing.

You can apply before results day if you are a UK student who has applied through UCAS and is waiting for results to be released on 13 August 2026 for one or more of the following:

A levels, EPQ, Core Maths, BTEC qualifications (Extended Diploma, Diploma, Extended Certificate), T Levels, Cambridge Technical qualifications, Wales Advanced Skills Baccalaureate or WJEC Level 3 Diploma.

Already have your results?

If you have your results already, then you're all set to apply. Complete the form with your achieved qualifications and results.

We'll review your application as quickly as possible and contact you with the next steps. Depending on the course you've applied for, we may invite you to an interview or ask for additional information before making a decision.
