Your Future. Your Career. Your Success. We’re Here For It. Secure your provisional offer now.
What is Clearing and who can apply?
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.
When did Clearing open?
Clearing opened on 5 July 2025. If you don't yet have your results, you can sign up for Priority Clearing to get ahead.
When does Clearing end?
Clearing ends on 20 October 2025, although depending on availability some courses may close earlier.

How does LSBU make offers?
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.
