Clearing 2011: Telegraph and UCAS provide live university places

The telegraph has a deal with UCAS and an application for your iphone or android device.

For the first time, applicants will be able to search available Clearing places by university, course and region on a website other than UCAS.

Information on the Clearing 2011 site will update constantly throughout the day with official UCAS data, ensuring that students and parents don’t waste time chasing places that have already been taken.

The flexible results recognise that for some students the most important thing is to end up at specific university while others will prioritise a certain course or the chance to study in a chosen region.

Once an applicant has found a place right for them, the Clearing site provides the phone number for the relevant university’s admission office, and all the details they will need when they make the call.
