Clearing

Clearing is a UCAS service that matches applicants with University and Degree course vacancies that are available in August, at the end of the application cycle. The service is designed for applicants who have either not been offered a place or have declined a place, and are looking for another course.

Courses available through Clearing at The Manchester College are advertised in August.

What courses are available through Clearing this year?

A full list of all Clearing courses is provided on the UCAS website from mid-August. Information about how to apply is also provided at that time.

If you know the course you want to apply for check on UCAS to see if there are places and apply through the UCAS system.
