    If you're very committed go into your local library and get issues of The Herald from the weeks around results day.

    It's possible there's an easier way, but I'm not aware of it.

    Will not be in the UK for a few months, so will be pretty hard finding it elsewhere in Europe I guess?

    So might there be some other way?

    Why do you want it? If it's to plan ahead, don't be too reliant on an old list because it's not the same every year. Courses which were undersubscribed last year may have had their numbers adjusted to avoid being in Clearing this year. Last year was atypical also in that people were rushing to avoid the fees increase. There are quite a few threads on here which will give you some idea of how things went, but as you often see elsewhere, past performance is no indication of future events.
