Can I apply through Clearing before results day?
If you’re patiently waiting to get your exam results, you might be wondering: can I apply through Clearing before results day?
The simple answer is, you can only use Clearing when you have your exam results, so if you don’t know your grades yet, you’ll need to wait until you receive them before you apply. However, in this situation we still recommend that you start your course search early. It’s a good idea to be fully prepared, so you can avoid the rush on results day.
If you already have your results, you can apply when Clearing opens on Wednesday 5 July. Learn more about when you can apply in our guide to Clearing.
How many universities can I apply to through Clearing?
You can only apply to one university Clearing place at a time. Once a choice has been selected, you cannot add another, unless you’ve been unsuccessful with the first one. That’s why it’s so important to really examine the courses in Clearing to see which one sparks your interest. Explore our courses today and discover what you could start studying this September.

I was responsible for processing patient samples, carrying out different diagnostic techniques and doing quality control checks. I’m very excited for my career, there are so many options open to me.
