Paramedic sciences through clearing?

I have applied for Law to start in 2024 after resitting my A-Levels. Recently, I have been looking into doing Paramedic Sciences. What is the process of applying through clearing. What are the entry requirements for clearing? If I get the required grades for Law, could I apply for Paramedic Sciences through clearing and do interviews whilst keeping my offer for Law?
If you tell me a UNI I can tell you what they let in last year

Courses that require an interview are unlikely to be in Clearing, and as Paramedic is highly competitive, these courses are not likely to have any spaces.

Do you have any relevant work experience? Without this, your chances of an offer at any stage are slim. If you are certain that this is what you want to do, then take a gap year and work in a care-home etc to work out if its the role for you and apply for 2025 entry.

Or, if you continue with Law, think about doing some volunteer work - Volunteer Opportunities - First Aid Charity | St John Ambulance (sja.org.uk)

Hello again, I apologise if I was overly aggressive before but is it true universities are struggling and this will affect and likely lower the grade needed in social sciences

No - Unis will not accept silly grades just for the ££, whatever you may have heard.

Some Unis over-recruited undergrads last year to make up for a decline in taught postgrads from overseas, and got caught out with no accommodation for the extra students - never good PR - and are unlikely to try that trick again.

I am not talking silly grades, I am talking 2 grades lower from BBB to BCC, just saying Leeds have already said they are lowering for some subjects my Dad works there in administrations, but I get your point but would you agree all it is money for UNI's they have to survive would you agree however loads could drop 2 grades I am not talking silly grades
