  • Meet Elise

    "I was really worried that I hadn’t applied and thought the whole process would be stressful. But it wasn't at all - I got loads of support from the start, and even had a lecturer call to go over the available courses with me!"

  • Meet Alfie

    "I had other offers, but after looking into it, LSBU turned out to be a much better fit. The location offered way more opportunities to get experience in industry."

Waiting for your results?

You'll need your results before we can officially offer you a place, but you can secure a provisional offer and a guaranteed call back on results day from our admissions team by registering for Priority Clearing.

Clearing 2025 starts on 5th July. Students who haven't met the entry requirements for their chosen courses, or haven't got an offer from a UK university, are automatically entered into Clearing.

You can't apply through Clearing until you have your exam results. However, you can sign up for Priority Clearing to secure a provisional offer and a guaranteed call back from our admissions team on results day.

  • Last chance to apply through general applications. UCAS Undergraduate applications received after 30 June are entered into Clearing.

  • Clearing opens. You can start to search for your course. If you registered for Priority Clearing, and receive results in July, our admissions team will give you a call.

  • SQA results are published. Students in Scotland can now apply for their course via Clearing. The UCAS Hub will display a 'you are in Clearing' / 'Clearing has started' message.

  • A Level results are published. A Level students can now apply for their course via Clearing. The UCAS Hub will display a 'you are in Clearing' / 'Clearing has started' message. Priority Clearing students will receive a call from our admissions team.

Priority Clearing is your chance to get ahead before Clearing officially opens. You can secure a provisional offer and, if you requested a call back, we guarantee our admissions team will call you on results day to discuss if we can make your provisional offer an official offer.

Clearing is the system used at the end of the academic year for those students who are applying for the first time, or who have changed their mind about a degree or university.

Clearing is your chance to find a place at LSBU.

Studying at LSBU gives you access to some of London’s most exciting businesses, with placements, work experience and courses designed in partnership with industry. Here you'll get the experience you need for the working world, before you graduate.

If you:

  • haven’t applied to a university yet
  • are not holding any offers, or have not been given an offer for a course you want
  • don’t receive the grades you expect
  • have simply changed your mind about where or what you want to study

We are here to help you find your own version of success and take you from application to graduation.

Clearing opens on 5 July 2025 but you can sign up for Priority Clearing before then to get ahead.

Clearing ends on 20 October 2025, although depending on availability some courses may close earlier, so make sure you sign up for Priority Clearing to get ahead.

  • Plan ahead – We know Clearing can be busy, so plan ahead and beat the rush.  Find out what we offer and see why we are the right uni for you. Sign up for Priority Clearing to get ahead.
  • Know your expected and achieved grades – But also make sure you write down some important points about yourself. We are interested in your potential and not just your grades.
  • Consider your options – Check the courses available and find the best match for your future. Sometimes the most obvious choice may not be the only choice. Check the course modules and how assessments work, and if you have any questions make sure you call us on 020 7815 6100.

  • On UCAS – If you have already registered on UCAS for this year  just log into your UCAS account and make LSBU your Clearing choice.

At LSBU we take a well rounded holistic view when it comes to making offers. We firmly believe in looking at the applicant rather than just what is on an application. This ensures we accept students not only on the grades they get but also on their potential to be successful on their chosen course.

When making a decision we look at

  • All qualifications achieved including A-Levels, BTECS, GCSEs and anything equivalent or deemed to be non-standard
  • Personal statements, performance at interview or audition as well as any portfolios of work
  • We also review any previous skills, knowledge or experience you have gained outside of your education and are happy to talk through any extenuating circumstances you feel relevant.

If you have more questions, we’re here to help. Give us a call on 020 7815 6100.
