Previous clearing - grades and subjects

I know with the freedom of information act, you can ask universities to release this information (I've seen Edinburgh Law for last 2 years) but does anyone know of any resource where I can find this. People on here have access to all sorts of spreadsheets so wondered if there was one lurking around somewhere!

Yes, I know it's the past, but it's always good to know what Unis had spaces, the courses and the grades (on results day).

The best guide is 'what courses were in Extra this year for UK applicants at that Uni'. These will be their hard-to-fill courses which are the most likely to have to go into Clearing to fill remaining places.

And remember that many Unis will have details of their Clearing courses on their websites the evening before Results Day - this gives you more time to think about / research possible vacancies before you get your results and it can avoid the sense of crisis/panic if you already have a possible backup planed.

UCAS website terms and conditions forbid harvesting of listings.
And many universities don’t make grades required in clearing public at all so the only way to find that information is to call them.

Vacancies and grades do shift significantly each year (eg I would expect more vacancies for CS this year given that demand has fallen slightly for the first time in years).
