With results day coming up on 15 August, you might be starting to think about your options – or maybe you’ve decided that the course you applied for, or the university you chose, is no longer right for you. You might think there’s nothing you can do until you get your results, but we’ve got some ideas for you! You can sign up for Clearing updates from us to get hints and tips that will make sure you are well-prepared for Clearing once you have received those results.
Find the right course for you
University is a big investment, not only in financial terms but in time, too. You need to make sure that the course you pick is something you’ll enjoy doing for three or more years, and that it could lead to a career that you’ll find fulfilling! So, whether you’re looking at courses for the first time or if you’ve had a change of heart, it’s important to go for what you want.
Take a look at which courses we have in Clearing to find the right one for you. Each course page has a detailed breakdown of the modules you’ll study, so you’ll know straight away if you’ll be focusing on what interests you and will make you more employable.

Find the right university for you
Yes, your course is important, but it’s just as important to study at a reputable institution recognised for your subject area to ensure you get the best teaching and support.

Work out your UCAS points
If you’re looking at a new course, or thinking of studying your course at a different university, it’s worth looking up how many UCAS points you’ll need to be accepted, and that you meet the entry requirements. We’ve got a handy UCAS points calculator so you can work out roughly whether you’ll have enough! Why not go off your mock results, or the grades you think you might be awarded, and give yourself a margin either way if you do worse or better than you anticipate. You’ll then have a list of potential options depending on your final points!
