Official University of the Arts 2023 Clearing Thread

“Just around the corner”
Clearing is months away.

This looks desperate
So much for number 1 in the world

Hi, I applied on April 7, (I guess it's like Round 3) for an MA at CSM and Chelsea, but I haven't received any portfolio request or news. How long should I wait until maybe try for the clearing opportunity? I was assuming that maybe when all Round 2 applicants receive their responses, the university will proceed with the rest of the applications, but I would like to be clearer on the dates and details. Thank you very much in advance for your response.

Hi, is the clearing process only for undergrad or masters as well?

Hi there are we allowed to know what are/were the lowered entry requirements for ual clearing

Hello!

Thank you for your question.

The entry requirements stay the same for the Clearing.

Best wishes,
Weronika

I have applied for clearing in the beginning of July and I still haven’t had a response. When I will have a response please? Or what’s the last day to get a feedback since the course I applied for is still taking applications…. Thanks!

Hi,

Do you mind me asking whether you are Home or International student? Home students should use the self-apply option, rather than going through UCAS.

Best,
Weronika

Hi, Im a home student applying to csm culture, criticism, curation clearing.
It looks like the self-apply form is asking for a portfolio to be submitted as a requirement.
I haven't seen anything on the course page about a portfolio, only that a 500 word essay will need to be submitted, which will be requested after the self-apply form has been sent.
Could anyone clarify on this, if I do need to submit a portfolio, then what work are they looking for, as I didn't study an art subject.

Hi! I applied for a course at LCF which said the same thing, just click 'No' for the portfolio and submit your self-application form. When they requested my 'portfolio' I clarified with them that it was the 500-word written piece so don't worry. Good luck with your application!

Hi! Thanks thats a relief.
Can I ask you what course you applied to just to be sure, since it I think some courses like contemporary media cultures explicitly state that a portfolio isn't required, and the self apply form for those courses doesn't ask for a portfolio.

Hello everyone,

With the Clearing process for UAL just around the corner, we wanted to provide you all with some important information on how to apply and what to expect.


What is Clearing?

Clearing is the opportunity for universities to fill any remaining places on their courses. For 2023, the Clearing period will run from 5th July to 17th October, giving you ample time to apply if you don't already have an offer from a university or if the course you're interested in still has available places.

To be eligible for Clearing, you need to meet certain criteria, which include:

You can find specific information about Clearing on the University of the Arts London website


Want to apply via UCAS Extra?

Remember that the last date to add a UCAS Extra Choice to your existing UCAS application is the 4th July.


Keep these dates in mind, and we want to wish you all the best of luck with your Clearing applications. If you have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help!

Hope this information has been helpful to you all.
