CLEARING IS OPEN
Our graduates consistently earn the highest average salaries of all London Moderns (LEO 2023-2026).
Apply through LSBU Clearing and start building the life you aspire to.
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 opened on 2 July 2026, but if you're still waiting for your results, you can register your interest for exclusive access to dedicated support throughout your journey. This includes personalised call backs on results day, priority invitations to events, tailored online resources, and expert application guidance from our admissions team.
Clearing ends on 19 October 2026, although depending on availability some courses may close earlier.
You will be able to apply to LSBU through any of the following:
- On UCAS – If you have already registered on UCAS for this year just log into your UCAS account and make LSBU your Clearing choice.
- Direct on our Clearing site – We have a direct application form that comes straight to our Admissions Team. Many applicants can get an offer within 5 mins.
- Call our Clearing Team – our fantastic Admissions professionals will be on the end of the phone to help through the application, confirm offers or talk you through the processes. Call our Clearing hotline on 0800 923 8888.
- Pop into our Clearing Centre – Applicants (and parents/guardians) can come along to the LSBU Student Centre (Tower Block, Borough Road).
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.
