International students and clearingwhy is it that more spaces (in clearing) are kept for international students and not UK students?
I've seen this is the case with several universities, Birmingham and Edinburugh for example
The University of Edinburgh may have a small number of Clearing vacancies available for well-qualified non-EU International UCAS applicants. Details of any vacancies are published on the UCAS Clearing website.
We will not have Clearing vacancies for other applicants.

Re: International students and clearingBecause international students fit into a different funding pot than home students.(Original post by YB101)

Universities generally receive a set quota of the amount of funded students (eg: home and EU students) they're allowed to accept whereas international students are completely self funded so the university can theoretically accept as many as they wish. It's slightly different this year due to changes in UK funding rules, but the idea is still the same. These students pay much higher fees for their tuition and therefore are a good source of income to a university.
