Clearing 2025

Join our real London community this September

Looking to start university this autumn? We can help... Last year we helped hundreds of people just like you find a place on a full-time undergraduate degree through Clearing – and our admissions team is here again to help you through the process. Simply call our Clearing hotline on 0800 032 4441 or apply online.

What is Clearing? If you’re from the UK – or if you're from the EU and have settled or pre-settled status – Clearing is a service, open every year between July and September, that can help you find a place on one of our full-time undergraduate courses starting in the autumn. Clearing is ideal if you decide you want to go to university a little later than usual, you don't get the grades you were hoping for or you've changed your mind about the course, or university you originally chose. Read answers to other common questions about Clearing in our frequently asked questions.

Applying over the phone? Check our hotline opening hours. Remember, you can apply online at any time.

What's your situation?

I haven't yet applied to any university

Still yet to apply? It's not too late... if you're a UK student or an EU student with settled or pre-settled status, you can apply for a full-time undergraduate degree through Clearing.

I applied through UCAS but didn't get the grades for my chosen university

We understand this might be a stressful time but there's no need to worry – you could still start an undergraduate degree at London Met this autumn.

I have a place elsewhere through UCAS but want to swap to London Met

Changed your mind about the course or uni you applied to? No problem – you still have the chance to change to a course you'll love at London Met.

I applied to five universities through UCAS and received conditional offers but, on results day, my plans changed slightly so I applied to London Met through Clearing. I have to say, it was by far the best decision I’ve ever made.

I was studying astrophysics at Queen Mary University but after the first year I realised that I didn't enjoy studying all that physics. So I decided to change for a subject that I enjoyed much more — maths — and I got in through Clearing.

I applied through Clearing because I was quite late in making a decision about going to university and I came in as a mature student. I heard about London Met and thought I’d get in contact. The person who I spoke to was very friendly and helpful.

I came to see London Met over the summer, way after all the other unis – and that’s when I realised I should have applied here instead.
