Leeds university clearing

Hi there,

I didn’t apply to Leeds as I didn’t think I’d make the entry grades. But looks like I could get AAB or A*AB.
I’d like to do accounting and finance. Do Leeds tend to have spaces in clearing at marginally below the entry requirements?

I've no idea what they "tend to have" in Clearing, but Leeds didn't place Accounting and Finance into Clearing last year. Sorry. :frown:

A&F is a competitive course at all top Unis, and that is why Leeds requires AAA. This also means they will not have not needed to put it into to Clearing in previous years to fill the course with applicants with lower grades. You can phone them on Results Day to check, but its unlikely.

Yes. Both Natural Sciences BSc (BCF1) and Natural Sciences MNatSci (BCF0) were in Clearing last year for UK and International applicants, although I've no idea how many places were available. Note that this does not mean that either will be in Clearing this year.

No. But that doesn't mean it won't be this year.

if i go through clearing in leeds for one course, can i then switch courses early on provided i have the correct original entry requirement. im thinking of doing this for geography if leeds have spaces for clearing then switching to geo and econ if the uni allows me. I havent applied to Leeds.

There's almost no chance whatsoever they would consider this kind of swap. Econ will be fully subscribed (and ideally slightly oversubscribed to start with) and they will be very familiar with people trying to get onto a competitive course after enrolling on something else via clearing.

Clearing runs from 5 July to 20 October 2025, but in many cases unis won't know what courses they're going to place in Clearing until just before A level results day (when they know how many places they still have to fill).

There's no easy way to tell which unis had which courses in Clearing last year, unfortunately. You can try the Wayback Machine (which archives web pages) but that's very hit and miss.

Edited to add a link to the Wayback Machine's archive of the Leeds Clearing page as at 14 August 2024: https://web.archive.org/web/20240814205141/https://www.leeds.ac.uk/clearing/. From that page you can click through to the list of courses in Clearing at Leeds last year for UK and International applicants. Note that the page is an archived snapshot, so some functionality may not work.

Of course, that doesn't mean it will this year.

Nobody can tell you what will happen this year (it depends on how many offer-holders miss their offer conditions), but I can tell you that last year, University of Leeds did not place Economics BSc into Clearing for UK or International students.
