Early Clearing/Adjustment Vacancy Lists 2015 Entry

Every year some universities publish their vacancies online before the official listings come from UCAS.

Last year I pulled together the links to them all in this thread (2013 entry lists are in this thread.)

Given that Scottish results come out in a few weeks and some other universities have started putting up listings I thought it would be worth starting even earlier this year.
DO NOT CALL ABOUT CLEARING VACANCIES UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY HOLDING YOUR RESULTS

--------------------------------------------------------
Universities to treat with caution in Clearing
Durham: they messed clearing applicants around holding on to applicants for weeks before rejecting many of them (after all other clearing places were gone). Unless they can give you SOLID reassurance that they will accept you through clearing I would recommend avoiding them completely.
Lancaster reportedly messed around a TSR user. Be sure to get names and job titles and confirmation of offers in writing.
Private universities/private colleges: these universities may well make you ineligible for student loans or may charge fees in excess of the amount of loan you can get to cover tuition fees. If they offer the course you want in the environment you want the go for it - but be sure to check the small print on their fees and funding before you commit to a place.

quick guide to Clearing



If you spot any lists of courses in Clearing then please link them below and I'll add them to the list - note I am NOT including any links to pages to "register" or "make a query" or with promises of when lists will be available.

Likewise if you come across a website of a university stating explicitly that they will not have vacancies in clearing/adjustment then link that too.:smile:

Added :cool:

There's a lot more unis this year just linking to their entire course list instead of having a dedicated clearing list which made it a bit tricky to pull together the links.

Understandably universities certainly dont all make it easy for applicants do they:P I think my own university doesn't have a specfic clearing list, just lists the schools with clearing places or overall subject areas, certainly not the best website format for applicants.
Thanks so much for pulling this all together :smile: If anyone has questions about Staffs or clearing please let me know and I'll be able to help. Our FAQ on TSR is here.

We've also got a dedicated clearing hotline available which anyone can call (even if they're not thinking about Staffs) for advice: 03702186241

Good luck with your applications everyone,

Katie

Thank you PQ
PQ - I'm about to PM you a cheat sheet I've pulled together for Results Day that has every clearing website in the country to my knowledge.

Hopefully it'll be of use - if not might be good for reference when you're doing your awesome advising. :smile:

Can anyone explain to me why a course would appear on the clearing 2015 list on ucas but not on the provisional clearing list of the official uni website?

Because the UCAS listings are not always up to date. There's a lag time of at least an hour - at times it can be days behind.

If a university has a listing on their website then that is the most accurate source of vacancies.

For UCL, see the link in the first page.

What KCL has done in the past is not a good guide to what they will do this year. If you want to find out what they did in previous years, you'll need to go to your local library and get out a copy of the Telegraph from results day.
