Apply through Clearing

Clearing is available from July until September and offers another route into university if places are still available.

Our Clearing team help you explore your options, find a course that's right for you and guide you through the application process.

Best for: students applying later in the cycle or reconsidering their plans.

Explore Clearing

You may be able to apply through Clearing if:

  • you've received your results and are now ready to apply
  • you've changed your mind about where or what you want to study
  • you aren't holding a university place and are looking for available courses.

Apply through UCAS

For most students, UCAS is the main route to university.

From September to 30 June you can apply for up to five courses through UCAS, compare your options, and track your application in one place. Applications typically open in September for entry the following year (use UCAS code T20).

Best for: students applying to more than one university.

Apply through UCAS

When applying through UCAS, you need to provide:

  • your qualifications
  • a personal statement
  • a reference

Our admissions team review your application and keep you updated every step of the way.

Best for: students who have chosen Teesside as their preferred university and want a simpler application process.
