University Guides August 13, 2010
- Facing clearing this year?
A-level students facing Clearing 2010 can do much advance preparation ahead of results day on Thursday. The Complete University Guide has lots of information to help you, including advice on courses, our university league table, and university profiles.
Make a list of possible courses and universities – this will be easy to check against the Clearing listings.
Think about alternative courses (perhaps a joint course with another subject instead of a single subject course) to maximise the choice available. Start ringing possible universities straight away (places at good universities can be filled very quickly).
If you think you may not have a place, regularly check UCAS Track. If you become eligible to use Clearing an ‘Add Clearing choice’ button will become available on your Track Choices screen. Or, check directly with your firm and insurance choices as soon as possible.
Check the official Clearing listings in The Independent, the UCAS website, or the websites of individual universities to find where there are vacancies in your subject. We recommend always using the official listings as they are always the most comprehensive and up to date.
