Find key information on how Clearing works if you're helping a student come to the UK to study.

If you’re new to advising, or need a refresh on the essentials, this page contains the essential information about Confirmation and Clearing.

Young people who are considering higher education but do not have support from either of their parents due to a breakdown in their relationship (also known as being ‘estranged’) may encounter challenges in their journey. Here we outline the ways in which you can help students in at each stage and explain what support they may be able to access.

Clearing is no longer just for students who've missed the grades they were hoping for - it's a chance to re-evaluate pathways and make informed decisions.

If your child has their heart set on university halls, they’ll need to do their research and apply early. Places aren’t always guaranteed, so it’s important to encourage them to think about alternative accommodation, which can be equally fun and provide a safe living environment.

We can help you increase your applications across the full 18-month conversion funnel, from initial research, right up until acceptance. From discovery brand awareness activities to pre- and post-application campaigns, as well as Clearing, we help universities and colleges drive their student recruitment to the students who would love to choose them.

Sometimes the unexpected brings new opportunities, whether it’s exploring a different course, considering an apprenticeship, or going through Clearing.

More than one in four students who apply through UCAS each year share a disability. Disabled students are entitled to reasonable adjustments to ensure they can access higher education, and they will find a variety of support available.

You’re one of their biggest supporters – even if they don’t always say it. From handling Results Day emotions to offering the right kind of encouragement, here are 10 things they might be thinking (but not telling you).

If applying for student accommodation, you may choose to get a loan. From applying to paying it back, here’s all the information you need.

Our products and services help you manage the application journey, navigate change, and overcome challenges. Connect and engage students at every stage of their journey and achieve your strategic goals with our paid-for products and services, as well as those included in your capitation fee.
