Clearing success story: De Montfort University

What is your name? 

Manasvi Chandrakant 

What is your degree, and where are you studying?

International Business BA (Hons) at De Montfort University

Why did you enter Clearing? 

Manasvi missed her chance to get a place at her first-choice university in 2019 when her A-level results in Accounting failed to meet the grade. 

Did you attend a Clearing open day and, if so, how was it? 

Manasvi was initially very disappointed to lose her first choice of university, but she settled into life at DMU very quickly and became involved in a number of activities. She said: “I was very lucky as the whole Clearing process was quite quick. 

Have you enjoyed your course and time at uni? 

Manasvi quoted: “It definitely was the best decision to come to DMU and I have found it amazing. A lot of my friends have come here, and I have made many new friends since.” 

“I found that I really enjoyed the course at DMU – it was what I had been looking for and there was a lot going on at the university. As I was living in Leicester, it was also very convenient for me to live at home and travel in daily,” 

“To think that if I had not ended up in Clearing and then chosen DMU, I would not have had this chance to visit the US, and may not have had the same openings for my career,”
