How to win in your nursing application through Clearing

How does Clearing work?

UCAS Clearing is a way of matching universities without students to students without a university place.

Clearing can be used by almost any potential student, whether applying late or for strategic reasons – for example, trading up to a university you initially thought you wouldn't get into. 

How do you apply for nursing courses through Clearing?

To apply for courses in Clearing you’ll want to speak to the university you’re interested in first, either over the phone or by filling out an application online. Once you’ve been made an informal offer you can add the option in your UCAS Hub if you want to accept it and the university should then confirm your place provided you’ve met the terms of the informal offer.
