Hi Everyone,
I’m Q, a Media Production student here at Bournemouth University.

Thinking about starting university in September? Don’t worry, it’s not too late! Clearing is there for you around results day to have another look or a first look.

If you want to find out more about Clearing, Early Clearing starts on Tuesday 2nd July and phone lines will open on Thursday 4th July. You can find out more on the website here, or by calling the Clearing line on +441202966777.
If you are still waiting for your results, main clearing opens on Thursday 15th August, and you can register your interest here.

Clearing can be a stressful process, so here are my top tips to help you navigate it smoothly:

1.

Explore your options - Research courses, locations, and student life to find the best fit for you

2.

Be prepared to keep your options open you might have to do a foundation year or slightly change your interests

3.

Speak to current students and staff about the university and course.

4.

Explore campuses and towns virtually or in person to get a feel for your potential new home.

5.

Register your interests for universities/courses that you’re interested in to stay up-to-date.

6.

Contact multiple universities to see what each can offer you before making your choice.

7.

Be prepared on Results Day - have all necessary information and documents ready if you’re calling universities on results day.

I hope these tips help you during Clearing. Good luck, and feel free to ask any questions!
