What is clearing?

 
Welcome to the University of Plymouth clearing, confirmation and course vacancies web pages. We'll help you find clearing course vacancies you might be interested in and guide you through the new electronic clearing process.

Clearing is for you if you applied via UCAS and ...

  • You were unsuccessful with your original choices
  • You turned down all the offers from your original choices
  • You failed to meet the conditions of accepted offers
or
  • You applied after 30 June (12 June for Route B courses)

What UCAS applicants should do now ...

  • Spend a little time thinking about what you want to study and where
  • Check to see if you are eligible for clearing by logging in to your application on UCAS Track
  • Find out as much as you can about the institution(s) and course(s) you are interested in.
  • Contact your shortlist of institutions to find out more about the course and if you meet the entry requirements. We recommend you contact the University of Plymouth on the details below. We will be able to tell you if there are vacancies and if you meet the course entry requirements. Our vacancies are updated continually over the clearing period.

    • Your results
