Clearing Hotline
What is Clearing?
Clearing is how universities and colleges fill any places they still have on their courses.
From 5th July, you can apply for a course using Clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course still has places.
You can use Clearing if:
- You’re applying after 30th June
- You didn’t receive any offers
- You didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
- You’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in Track
How Clearing works
If you already have your exam results, and you did not submit a UCAS application in the main scheme, you can use Clearing now.
If you have had conditional offers, but maybe didn’t achieve the grades you needed for your initial UCAS choices, you can use Clearing from 8:30am on results day (Thursday 17th August) when universities and colleges place a list of their vacancies on the UCAS website. You will be able to add a choice from 3pm on this day.
There are no offers through clearing, just unconditional acceptances. For Screen and Film School, this means we have to confirm that you’ve met any necessary academic requirements before we can accept you on a course.
Courses available through Clearing
We’ve published a full list of Screen and Film School courses which still have vacancies, which you can browse via the UCAS search tool.
Clearing Support Bursary
The Clearing Support Bursary aims to support the cost of travel, accommodation costs and study resources as students transition to Screen and Film School. The award is worth £1,000, in the first year of study only.
