Just for future reference, this is the full list of courses available in Clearing in 2014 - Part 1 
(please scroll down a bit - I can't for the life of me work out why there's such a long gap before the text starts!)

Do you know roughly the size of the foundation courses ( how many students they take )?
Specifically the engineering one
Or do you have any clue whether so many courses at Manc are in clearing because there are lots of spaces available/haven't filled up or loads of us have failed this year

Most universities are in Clearing (there's a list of all the ones that released lists prior to today at http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show....php?t=2766660 + more will have released lists today) - there's no longer a stigma to being in Clearing, as everyone is at it. There are fewer 18 year olds around than there used to be, and the funding changes have shifted things too. Manchester actually has far fewer courses in Clearing than last year - it's clearly been a good year from the uni's point of view.

Do they normally lower grades for clearing courses?
Thanks for answering.

I believe the foundation course is fairly large (low hundreds) but I couldn't give a precise figure.

Depends on the course - it's hard to give a definitive answer, but if you're not massively below I'd encourage you to ring up.

Thanks for the response! According to the news there is meant to be thousands more places available at higher uni's this year too.
Less 18 year olds and change of fundings shiftings things - by a significant amount though? I'd of thought the number of applications have continued to rise since Michael Gove is so set on stone to make A levels harder

In addition, there are fewer 18 year olds than there used to be, which makes the market more competitive, and subject areas like MFLs are struggling to attract enough applicants nationally.

Yes, by a significant amount - it used to be the case that all students counted towards the 'cap' on the number of students that the government allows the uni to take. Now, students with ABB+ or equivalent don't count towards the cap, meaning that for most courses Manchester can take as many students as it likes (though practical restrictions like lecture theatre size remain).

Ahh fair enough. Why would fewer 18 year olds make things more competitive?
Do you generally have an idea on how competitive engineering is and also compared to other sublects like English/Law/medicine etc

For engineering, it depends on the branch, but if you're interested in going to Manchester to do any of the subjects that are in Clearing, ring them!

Sorry, when I said more competitive I meant more competitive from the uni's point of view - they're competing for applications from a dwindling pool of applicants.

was wondering if i should call up manchester about adjustment or just apply via ucas. my grades are under what they want A* B C so i was wondering if it would be worth calling and explaining that the B was caused by one bad unit and that i got an A in both AS and unit 4, would they care about this or would the fact i got a B and a C make it not worth calling?

With the grades, it will depend on which subject you're applying for, but I definitely think it's worth ringing them up to enquire. The worst they can say is no!

You can still apply, and you are still guaranteed accommodation so long as you apply by the end of the month. There's lots of info here http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show....php?t=2091577
