University Clearing Vacancy Lists 2020

Question... or quite a few actually: so the courses that aren't offering clearing are predicted to be full up come results day? But with the other courses that are offering clearing now are they basically predicting that not enough places will be filled on the day? And does this mean all people who have already applied to a place in these courses will definitely be accepted even if they didn't meet there offer?

In order....
Often, yes - though some courses may be put onto clearing at a later point

Perhaps yeah - they might have free spaces already from IB or BTEC results, as well as people who've deferred etc.

No. A university might reject some people with low grades but still have that course in clearing, in such a circumstance I'd expect the grades the applicant got to be lower than the grades the course is offered in clearing.

So basically there are several possible reasons why a course is in clearing and that's no reason to make any guesses about your own offer.

I applied through clearing for Midwifery at ARU Chelmsford and was successful at interview so have been put onto a waiting list if a place becomes available.
Any idea what the likelihood of this happening? I have asked admissions but haven’t heard back as yet.

There are honestly a lot of unknowns that would affect how likely this is. Not least because the government have imposed caps on the number of students each university can take on. I know of some institutions who've made appeals for more places on Nursing & Midwifery courses so there's a lot of forces at play here. I know this might not be the answer you wanted to hear though.

That depends on your university.

Every year some universities publish their vacancies online before the official listings come from UCAS. While UCAS now leave vacancies available throughout July and August it's still handy to have all the links in one place.

Over the years, the wonderful @PQ has pulled together the links to them in previous years in this thread, in this thread, in this thread, in this thread and in this thread. In fact, this thread is simply an updated version of the thread from last year!

Note: No listings - sometimes this is because the listings aren't available but often this is because the clearing listings look identical to their full course list. This could be true (every single course is in clearing) but it's best to double check directly and on UCAS.

DO NOT CALL ABOUT CLEARING VACANCIES UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY HOLDING YOUR RESULTS

Universities to treat with caution in Clearing






With any university it's important to ask for and take note of names and job titles of anyone you speak to and ask them to confirm anything promised in writing.

If you spot any lists of courses in Clearing then please link them below and we'll get them added to the list.

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

UPDATE:

Durham was previously listed as being a uni to be cautious of, and it said they'd switched from 'No Vacancies' to 'Limited Early Clearing Vacancies' - this was a mistake on my part, as I'd not updated the thread correctly from previous years. They're currently listed as having no clearing or adjustment vacancies, and this has been the case for several weeks now.

Additionally, whilst they have held onto clearing applicants in previous years, this seems not to have been an issue, or at least not a prominent issue, in the last 2 - 3 years from what @Lemur14 has seen when keeping an eye on this previously!
