CLEARING IS NOW OPEN

Clearing is for everyone, and at LSBU we welcome applications from students who are only now deciding to join University. You may have been working elsewhere for some time, or finished your education years ago, and are now ready to continue your journey at University. All you’ll need are your qualifications and an idea of what you would like to study – now either use our Clearing Calculator for a quick decision, our Online Application Form or give us a call on 0800 923 8888

If you didn’t quite get the grades you wanted for a course elsewhere, we would leave to hear from you. There are still lots of options available to you, and Clearing can help. Get in touch with our advisers and we’ll help match your qualifications to a course.

Changing your mind about where you want to study, even shortly before you start, is absolutely fine. Through Clearing, you can find another course that best fits with career goals and preferences. This could be a completely different course or university. At LSBU, we have a range of courses available in Clearing, and can help you through the application process.

The safety and wellbeing of our students is our top priority, and we are putting measures in place to deliver safe teaching. Our campus will be open for September ready to welcome you. We’ll be delivering our courses through a blended learning approach, with a comprehensive package of support. This means that whether you’re with us on-campus for seminars, practical sessions and specialist facilities, or taking part in large lectures online, you’ll have everything you need to succeed. Discover more about how we’re teaching in September.

We welcome students with BTEC qualifications, or a combination of BTEC and A-level qualifications.

If you are unsure about meeting requirements for a three-year degree or you are unsure about the subject you'd like to study, a foundation degree could be an option. Modules on our foundation degrees introduce you to our subjects and if you are successful, you can progress to study on a variety of courses. Call us on 0800 923 8888 to chat through your options.

If you've been thinking about changing your career or advancing your current career, completing a degree in your chosen subject can help you make the move. Talk to us about your existing qualification and circumstances and see if studying at LSBU could be right for you. Call us on 0800 923 8888.

Clearing is an ideal way to secure a place at University this September if you’re applying late, slightly missed your requirements elsewhere, or if you’ve changed your mind on where you’d like to study. All you need is an idea of what you’d like to study, and your results.

Most of our courses will be available in Clearing, as long as we still have places available. Have a look at our course finder to discover our range of courses.

Clearing is now open. Once you have all of your grades you can call us on 0800 923 8888, where one of our advisors will help match you to one of our courses and guide your through the process.

Absolutely! If you have your results and are ready to apply for a course this September, you can apply online or by calling us on 0800 923 8888

If you changed your mind about your firm and/or insurance place, but you met the offer (or they're accepting you with lower grades) then you'll have to contact those universities and ask them to release you. They'll probably ask for reasons why, and it could take up to two weeks for your request to be processed - it’s important to do this as soon as possible so you don't miss out on a place at LSBU. Once your release has been processed, your Clearing number will show on UCAS Track. You can the apply to LSBU online or by phone.

If you don’t have any offers, but made your application through UCAS before 30 June, institutions have until 16 July to make a decision, before you are released into Clearing, and your UCAS Personal ID will be on UCAS Track. This may happen if you have rejected all your offers or if you were unsuccessful in your applications.

If you have no applied through UCAS this cycle, or applied after 30 June, you can make a Clearing application. Our easy to use Clearing Calculator and online application system are open now!

If you missed both your firm and insurance offers, or didn't have an insurance offer, then you can apply to us now, providing you have your results. To apply, simply call us on 0800 923 8888. Your Clearing number will show on UCAS Track - use this and your UCAS Personal ID during your application.

Finance providers, such as Student Finance England are still taking applications for 20/21, and student loans will be available for any eligible students coming through Clearing. You should apply as soon as possible, to avoid any delays on your payments.

Most of our undergraduate courses do accept applications for Advanced Entry – this is where you have completed part of your undergraduate course elsewhere and want to progress direct to Year 2 or 3 at LSBU to complete your degree. You can call our Clearing hotline on 0800 923 8888 to speak to an advisor about making an application. The Course Director will review your application to ensure the content of your previous study is relevant for the course you want to transfer to at LSBU. We will also request a copy of your transcripts, so it’s worth making sure you have these to hand.
