Everything you need to know about clearing at Birkbeck

Clearing is the process of matching universities which still have places on undergraduate courses after the UCAS deadline at the end of June each year, with students who are looking for a place at a university starting in October.

There are lots of reasons why students might use the Clearing system to apply to university e.g. if you want to apply after 30 June, if you didn't have any offers (or at least any that you wanted to accept), or if you didn't meet the conditions of your offer.

Birkbeck accepts applications through #UCAS Clearing, from July until the start of term, from students who are looking for a place on one of our full-time undergraduate courses (certificates of higher education, foundation degrees and BA, BSc and LLB degrees) starting in October. Our academics can provide more information about studying at Birkbeck and our Clearing team will provide advice and guidance on accepting your offer, enrolling and preparing for your studies.

For phone applicants, please note until 15 August 2019, the hotline opens at 12pm daily.
