Get ready to start your journey with us this September

Clearing is a great opportunity to start university this September if you don’t yet have an offer, would like to change to another course, or your grades aren’t what you expected. 

  1. Check if you’re eligible
    If you have no offers by 30 June, no longer wish to accept an offer, or haven’t met your offer conditions, you should be eligible for Clearing. Check in your UCAS Hub for the ‘Add Clearing choice’ option. If you haven’t made a UCAS application by 30 June, you will need to set up an account in the UCAS Hub.
  2. Research courses
    Be prepared and research the different courses available. If you need assistance or want advice, sign up for Clearing VIP Access to get a one-to-one call with a Clearing Advisor to talk through your course options, or get your portfolio reviewed to find your ideal course match.
  3. Gather everything you need
    Once you’ve found a course you’re interested in, gather your qualifications and grades (A-level, BTEC, and GCSE Maths and English) as well as your UCAS ID – you’ll need these when you make our application. Use the UCAS tariff calculator to work out your achieved tariff points.
  4. Apply
    Clearing is now open. You can apply online via our course pages, or call our hotline on 0203 040 3991 Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Visit our Undergraduate courses page to see available courses or start your Clearing application here.
  5. Receive offer
    We may be able to offer you a place immediately, or within 48 hours if this is not possible. Whichever way you apply, we’ll confirm your offer by email, outlining the next steps to accept your place. Be sure to add [email protected] to your contact list to avoid important updates ending up in your junk!
  6. Accept offer
    To accept your offer, select Ravensbourne as your ‘Clearing choice’ in your UCAS Hub by the deadline in your offer email. Once this shows on your ‘Choices’ pages, you’re on your way to becoming a Ravensbourne student! We’ll verify your results and keep in touch over email to guide you through enrolment and next steps.

I was going to take a gap year to work on my skills, but after receiving my college results I wanted to apply immediately. I called the Ravensbourne hotline and booked a meeting. We discussed my career plans and portfolio, and I was offered a place on my dream course the following day. ”

Clearing was actually really easy. I put it off for a bit too long as I was so nervous it was going to be hard. But I barely remember doing it as it was so straight-forward and I was supported the entire time.”
