The University received our applicants’ A level results last Friday night. Following a busy weekend, we’re now prepared for the main Clearing period starting today, when students will find out their grades.
Colleagues will be performing many vital roles to ensure we are able to fill the small number of remaining places with well qualified students. Scores of staff members and students will be answering calls to the hotline; providing high quality data and analysis; ensuring our marketing is targeted; and maintaining the IT infrastructure on which much of the process runs. The activity is led by Global Recruitment and Admissions, who will be coordinating the process, making offers to applicants, and delivering our campus tours through the week.
David Winstanley, Director of Global Recruitment and Admissions says: “Confirmation and Clearing is the highlight of the admissions cycle. We see in one week the fruition of hard work undertaken throughout the year by academic and professional services colleagues alike to encourage students to join us at Southampton. We’ve had a strong recruitment and admissions cycle and our applicants have received some excellent results this year, leading to having fewer vacancies than in recent years. I want to thank everyone across our University who has contributed to this position through the year and who are helping to make this last push a success.”
