Queen Mary University of London - 2018 official Clearing Q&amp;A

Original post by Queen Mary University of London

Hi there! I'm Will, a current student at Queen Mary! Feel free to ask me about the our university, living in London and the clearing process!

Check out our guides to clearing and adjustment on our website: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/clearing/

If I'm applying through clearing because I applied /registered on UCAS after June, do you need to add a reference? I'm about to finish my Bachelor degree and am planning to do a second degree in pharmacology.

Hi, I was wondering what kind of healthcare courses are usually available for clearing?

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch!

First of all, you should fill out this form so that, on the morning of clearing, you will receive an email telling you which courses will be available. https://qmul.hobsonsradius.com/ssc/iform/I7TS78I7A86G0x6702k0p.ssc

Unfortunately, the courses which are available through clearing will not be released until results day on 16 August. However, I can tell you that Medicine and Dentistry have not previously had clearing places available. It is possible that some of the healthcare courses will be available through clearing.

Best,
Will

Hi, how many exams can your Accounting and Management course exempt me from? I guess what I am trying to understand is if it contains more Accounting than Business as the modules seem to cover a lot of Business. Thanks !!

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.

It would be best if you speak to a member of our admissions team to determine whether you require a reference for Pharmacology or not. You can find the details on our website: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/clearing/

I did something similar, I applied through clearing coming from a foundation year. Called as soon as early clearing opened, all they do is ask for your grade, if there’s a space available they’ll give you an offer on the spot which they will then email to you, and they just get you to email them your transcript. Was a very straightforward process no reference or personal statement needed, at least that’s how it was for me.

That sounds good.
How long ago was that? I went through smth similar in 2012 and it was just like you said, but that's already 6 years ago and it seems things have changed.

Hi!
Queen Mary holds 100 spaces rooms aside for clearing applicants, and these are allocated at random through a ballot system. To take part in the ballot system you must send your housing application in by Wednesday 22nd of August. If you do not meet the criteria for student housing or are not chosen by the ballot system we will hold a Find a Flatmate event on Tuesday 4 September, where you'll also be able to speak with QMUL housing advisors that will help you find a suitable home. You can check out this link for more information: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/clearing/accommodation/

Best,
Henriette

Do we need a clearing number to apply to QMUL for clearing? I didn't apply this year and I haven't sent off my UCAS application.
