Bad A2 results, need some advise pls

I applied for Business Management but absolutely failed them with CDD, I am quite disappointed right now as I worked hard and tried my best through my 2 A level year. Anyone can recommend some universities that I am suitable as I want to go into Clearing or should I do a foundation course as Oxford Brookes has just offered me a place, too?

Have a look at http://search.ucas.com/ to search for courses in clearing.

A foundation year can be a lot more costly than re-sitting your A-levels, so bear that in mind.

I did look but don't know where to get in with my result, all I can pick out is Leeds Met, and I don't plan to retake my A-levels, any other unis besides Leeds Met?
If no Universities are on the list of clearance then the answer would be a no :/

I dont think so,but it still depends on your opinion or your situation, and Leeds is not a bad city as well I think.

There is also Wolverhampton, they ask for 220 points, but it's worth asking them as you only have slightly less.

Coventry may be another choice as they are in clearing for Business Management. The offer is BCC but they're known to be lenient and you might as well try. I know you said you don't want to retake A-levels but personally I would highly recommend you consider it if your circumstances allow.
