UCAS Clearing 2026

How does Clearing work?

Clearing is now open and offers a great opportunity to find a university place in Norwich for September 2026. Managed by UCAS, Clearing connects students to courses that still have available spaces. You can apply through Clearing until 19^th October.

Spaces on popular courses fill quickly, so the sooner you get in touch, the more options you’ll have.

You might be eligible for Clearing if:

You haven’t applied to university yet
You didn’t receive any offers, or you didn’t meet the conditions of your firm or insurance choices
You’ve changed your mind about your course or university
You’re applying after 30 June
You’ve declined your existing offer
You’ve done better than expected and want to explore courses with higher entry requirements

Whether you're applying for the first time or rethinking your plans, Clearing gives you the flexibility to find a course that fits your goals and circumstances.

Clearing is open to everyone – whether you're a UK or international student, applying straight from school or returning to education as a mature student (aged 21 or over).
