Clearing list with grades required?

Is there a list of courses in clearing with grade requirements anywhere? The Ucas search tool seems to take you to the original course information page with original grade requirements. Presumably some universities will take lower grades in clearing...?

Not all universities will lower their grade requirements for Clearing applicants. Clearing Plus will recommend courses you are likely to be accepted for according to the grades you hold, but you still need to contact universities and ask.

The UCAS course search is updated with the grades unis will accept today. Some will still have some flexibility if you ring up- but the uni isn't required to make that information public if they don't want to.

Hi @islabrewester

I know at Hull we don't generally publish our required grades for clearing because we use clearing as an opportunity to measure your fit for the course on more than just your qualifications alone, taking into consideration relevant experience amongst other factors. This isn't to necessarily say that grades will be dropped, but rather to call us up and we can discuss your options further with you, looking at your as more than just a piece of paper :smile:

Ive attached a link to the clearing webpage here which also has the hotline phone number listed: https://www.hull.ac.uk/clearing.

Take care and best of luck,

Some unis have their most up to date lists on their websites, a number of which you can find here: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6605660 :smile:
Thanks all. Thinking about it makes sense that not all unis would want to advertise lower grades (if they offer them at all).
