Does Edinburgh do Clearing?

Just wondering guys. Were there any courses in clearing last year? Something like Politics or Social Policy etc etc

If I got BBB+, do you think it's worth me phoning them up on results day.

Thanks

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but generally they don't, and they definitely don't for the courses you've mentioned. Edinburgh is hugely oversubscribed, particularly in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and so they usually hit their quota with no problem.

no

So much so that you'll struggle to get into some of their courses for an outside course even once you're in the university :frown:

Not for Politics or Social Policy, or any Humanities subject.

But here's the Uni's stance:

- The clearing vacancies from a few years ago were all from the College of Science and Engineering however.

And here's the (most recent) Politics and Social Policy (MA) stats:
