Our colleagues in Admissions are busy this week looking through the embargoed A level results and deciding which students to offer a place to ready for Thursday 16 August when results are officially released.
According to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) there will be 5,000 fewer applicants this year making it an extremely competitive market.
Hundreds of colleagues from across the University are involved in the Clearing and Adjustment period, including the staff and students who volunteer on the hotline.
Anyone we make an offer to will be invited to our Clearing and Adjustment Open Day on Saturday 18 August from 10:00 – 14:00. Prospective students can look around our campus, talk to academics and current students and discuss the accommodation we have available. This is an invitation only event and more information is available here.
Our list of courses
The list of courses available to prospective students in this year’s Clearing and Adjustment period has been available online for the past few weeks. We are offering a limited number of places for talented and well-qualified candidates across a number of subject areas.
What happens if a prospective student calls you?
Please direct them to the University Clearing and Adjustment website where they can find out about relevant opportunities, register for Clearing alerts in the run up to Results Day, or apply online from Thursday 16 August. Alternatively, they can call our Clearing and Adjustment hotline from 08:00 on Thursday on 0330 058 6940.
We expect a high volume of calls to the hotline over Clearing and Adjustment and these will be carefully managed through a queuing system. To provide the best service to our prospective students please ask them to use the hotline number or apply online; please don’t attempt to transfer the call internally.
For queries about accommodation
Please direct prospective students to the Student Services accommodation webpages. Alternatively they can call our Accommodation hotline on 02380 595959.
