Hi, i am currently looking for a clearing place and i can not find one at all i want to study! no where seems to have places in business or psychology, the 2 subjects i want to study! anyone have any advice??? im desperate.

Wait until next thursday when the majority of universities will put up their vacancies?

The last two ads I've seen here on TSR have been for business schools :lol:

- as above, what grades did you achieve?

EDIT: I should probably mention that those ads were for Bolton and Aston.

A quick search on UCAS shows several Scottish universities have spaces for Business and psychology. I'm sure next week there will be some English ones as well.

No they'll be for all the english, welsh and NI universities for students from anywhere....scottish unis can advertise vacancies now because they've got the results for MOST of their students, the rest of the UK unis will only be able to know the results for MOST of their students next week so until then they don't usually advertise.

Did you call all of them? Were those their exact words?

Also at ABBBC your grades are the equivalent to ABB at A level and so English universities can take you as part of their "unlimited" numbers so your chances of finding a place at an english uni are very good.

Not upfront and it wouldn't increase the amount of your student loan repayments - just the length you'd be repaying for.

BA Social Science

Quite a few Scottish Universities still have places last time I checked in this option.

Initially, I just wanted to do Psychology and go the Clinical Psychology route, however, it is all the Social Sciences that really fascinate me and I liked that the BA Social Science seems to provide the opportunity for me to really decide. Plus, it is rumoured to be far easier to switch between degrees once you have a place at a University. So, you can always switch easily within the first year or even second. I'm hardly the most informed, but this is what my research has given me to work with.

I know UWS is still accepting. I think so anyway. I can't remember the others, I was looking for something closer to home as I don't have the time or the finances really to support a sudden move across the country. Use the search engine to find places. I hope it helps. I'm waiting to hear their decision about a place and it is terrifying me.
