How to prepare for Clearing
Why apply through Clearing?
If you don’t get the grades you hoped for, then Clearing could be a great option for you. At BU, we can offer a more flexible approach to entry requirements through Clearing, so it’s always worth getting in touch.
Which courses are available?
We open for early Clearing from 2 July, after which you can check each of our courses to see if they are still available through Clearing. Lots of these courses are very popular, so we advise getting in touch with us as soon as possible to discuss your options.
Will I still be able to get accommodation?
We know this is one of the most worrying aspects when applying to university closer to September and we will update our website when we have further information about accommodation availability. With BU accommodation, you can choose your own room rather than have it picked for you.
Will my university experience be any different?
No! This is simply a different way to apply. Once you have enrolled at BU, your experience will be consistent with everyone else on your course.
