It's your future, make it count

Hear our students’ stories in their own words and find out how our students overcame their initial hurdles to succeed through Clearing.

For me, it was essential to come to terms with the fact that my original university plans had changed and take the necessary time to make a well-considered decision about my future. Taking this time allowed me to process my emotions and carefully evaluate the options available to me.

I never thought of myself as being smart enough for university and I thought that I had missed the sign-up date, but after looking at the University of Plymouth website I found out what Clearing is and decided to take my chances.
