Ready to make Clearing 2025 a success? We’re excited to share the essential insights and strategies that you and you're marketing, and recruitment teams need to succeed in 2025.

A first-timers guide to a virtual event

Never been to a virtual exhibition before? Don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through what to expect from your first visit, and help you make the most of the experience.

Accommodation for apprentices

If you decide to do an apprenticeship, accommodation is something to consider if you’re going to live away from home. It’s important you make the right decision for you and your circumstances, so you feel comfortable and happy after coming home from work. We’ve outlined what you need to know to make an informed decision for you.

All our commercial marketing and data products

Explore all the products and services we offer for commercial organisations. They're designed to help you reach students who are looking for the provisions they'll need to make the most of student life.

Alternative payment option

If you are unable to make online payment of the UCAS application fee, we can accept payment by bank transfer instead.

Alternatives to university

Going to uni or doing an apprenticeship isn’t right for everybody. When researching post-16 plans, it’s important your child weighs up all their options to make the right decision for them in the long-term.

Amendments to the Tariff consultation

In July 2021 UCAS launched a consultation into a number of proposals relating to the information we make available about qualifications and their use in progression to higher education. The scope of this consultation included the current Tariff (but not the methodology behind the calculation of Tariff points) and Qualification Information Profiles.

Applying for Student Finance? Get on it with the HMRC app

Some things in life you can’t control, but with the HMRC app, you can be ‘on it’ with your money and tax. We want to make sure you’re getting all the support you need to make applying for student finance as smooth as possible.

Before you apply

Consider all the options available to you before you begin your application. Find out what places are really like, attend events, research industries, and make sure you're clear on what you want to do before you proceed.

Careers support with UCAS

Every year over a million students and young people connect with UCAS to explore their future options. We're focusing on the far-reaching choices they can make now – and how we help employers and potential applicants to find each other.

Choices - assessing your portfolio

How future proof is your portfolio? We'll help you take stock of your offering so you can make informed decisions about your course strategies.

Choosing a bank account

There are lots of different student accounts with different deals and benefits – make sure you look around to find the best one for you.

Contextual admissions

Some students face additional challenges during their education which may impact their results. Universities recognise these challenges, and can make adjustments through ‘contextual admissions’. Find out more about what this is, who is eligible, and how you qualify.
