What is Clearing?
When universities still have places left on any of their courses, they offer them through Clearing from July to October. So, if you don’t have a university place, for any reason, before or after Results Day – this is how you get one.
Sometimes in life you must stop to carry on, step back to move forward, come down to earth to get a bird’s eye view. Clearing is one of these times.
It’s your chance to find a course – and a university – that’s truly right for you.
Who is Clearing for?
Everyone. And for any reason.
- If your exams results are different to what you expected...
- If you’ve changed your mind about what or where you want to study...
- If you’re thinking about switching careers or boosting your qualifications...
- Or if you’ve just this minute decided to apply for university...
Clearing is for you.

Can I still get university accommodation through Clearing?
Yes, you can. You may have heard the myth that you get the last pick of rooms if you apply through Clearing.
But at Hull, we guarantee all new full-time undergraduate students a single-person room within our university owned, managed or directed accommodation if you sign up by 1 September.
And the best bit is, you’re literally minutes away from everything you need. So, every morning you can roll out of bed and go straight into your lectures.
Can I visit Hull before I apply?
Yes, of course. It’s a big decision, and you need to be sure this is the right place for you. Book onto an Open Day or Campus Visit and find out what Hull has to offer.
