University Clearing in Scotland

The BBC reports that Scottish universities are predicting there will be few places available through the UCAS clearing system this year. If you're a Scottish student looking to find a university place through clearing, don't panic! There is availability at Edinburgh Napier and the University of the West of Scotland, and the University of the Highlands and Islands has funding for an extra 1,000 places at many centres.
