Missing out on your preferred university course can feel like the end of the world. Alternatively, you may get your grades but still have doubts about your choices. As our students demonstrate, Clearing can quickly get you back on track, as well as open new doors.
“I came through Clearing at the very last minute. I was upset that I didn't get the grades that I was expecting, and I felt deflated by the whole situation, so I didn’t make a decision straight away.
“When I realised I did want to go to university and my lower-than-expected grades weren’t the end of the world, I chose to apply to Plymouth and found the process surprisingly easy.”
Melia Crawford, current BA (Hons) Art History student
“Clearing changed my life 100%! Plymouth was not my first choice, as I lived in London. However, after visiting on an open day, I fell in love with the city and the campus. It made me see how amazing it was compared to other smaller universities that had less to offer. I was devastated when I failed to get the grades for optometry. However, when I was offered a place to study biomedical science instead, I did some research and was impressed enough to take a shot.”
BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science graduate Nanna has now secured a job at Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea as a trainee Biomedical Scientist.
