Official University of Leicester Clearing thread 2025

Hello

,
Great question about Geology and Physical Geography courses going into Clearing this year.
Unfortunately, I can't predict with absolute certainty which specific courses will be in Clearing for 2025 (as this depends on application numbers and available places) and you can only really tell closer to the time.

But here's a few things you can do if you're interested:

•

Check the UCAS webpage for updates often.

•

On Results Day: Check Leicester's Clearing webpage first thing in the morning - available courses are listed there.

•

Be ready to act quickly: If these courses do enter Clearing, they might fill up fast, so have your details ready and call the Clearing hotline early.

Clearing opens on Saturday 5 July 2025 and phonelines will open from 10am, just call 0116 373 6000.

Even if you're just considering these subjects as possibilities, it's worth chatting with the department beforehand.
Be sure to look into Open days, Leicester's Geology and Geography departments are super friendly and happy to discuss options with prospective students!
Hope that helps with your planning!

Are you looking at any other subjects or universities as backup options? 😊

will geology and physical geography go into clearing ?

Hello @Welshdragon3

Although, as has previously been said, we cannot confirm which subjects will enter clearing this year because we do not yet know how many students will be successful in the main UCAS cycle, UCAS Extra is open for a couple more days and this may give you an idea of which courses might be in clearing this year.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions or anything at all please do let me know.

Has medicine ever been in clearing at UoL?

Hello,

Based on UCAS for this year, Medicine itself does not appear to be in clearing for the University of Leicester. However, there are a number of other medicine related degrees at the University of Leicester which do appear to be in clearing.

I hope this helps, if you have any further questions please do let me know.

Hello, we hope you are all having a peaceful break! Here are some practical tips to make the process as easy and efficient as possible.

• Understand that although many universities will talk to your representatives, whether that is a parent or a sibling, we often need to hear from you as the student first. As an adult entering into a contract to study a specific course at a particular university, we require your consent to discuss all the clearing information and make an offer with your representative, rather than directly with you.
• Have your UCAS Personal ID number ready. This helps speed up the process and is the quickest and easiest way of finding your UCAS record which universities have access to and need in order to make you an offer. If you have not applied through clearing we will most likely ask for your first and last name and postcode.
• Have your A Level grades ready, feel free to also calculate the UCAS points as well as this can also speed up the process. This is not essential; if you have not done so it is likely that the clearing call handler will calculate the UCAS tariff points for you.
• Have your GCSE grades ready. Many universities ask for your GCSE grades, especially for English Language and Mathematics. Universities also sometimes ask for the grades of at least 4 others as well. Therefore, have all your grades ready as this can really help us help you.
• Don't worry. Some of the best students get to university through clearing so do not see it as a sign of failure if you don't get any offers, you do not get into your firm or insurance universities or you just want to go to another university. These are all valid reasons to use clearing. Last year, when I was working in the clearing call centre as a student ambassador, I had an A*A*A* student call me enquiring about a clearing place because they no longer wanted to go to their first choice university.

I hope this helps and makes the process as easy and stress-free as possible. If you have any questions or anything at all please do let us know!

Hello,
As mentioned above we would definitely recommend you check out our website or the UCAS website to see which courses we have in clearing and what the entry requirements are. It is worth reminding you that on results day the entry requirements can go up and down throughout the day and once the course is full that is it, there will be no more places left.

At the time of writing, we do appear to have places for both Law and Law with Criminology.

If you have any further questions about the clearing process, please do let me know.

What’s the average clearing grades you ask for for psychology in clearing?

Hello,

The grades we ask for in clearing really vary depending on many different factors and this is for all subjects which make it into clearing. Firstly, throughout results day and the following clearing period the grades can change quite a lot meaning they are likely to go both up and down throughout the day.

Normally, the grades we ask for in clearing depend on how popular the particular course has been in the main UCAS application cycle, how many places we have available, how other subject departments have done in the relevant college as well as how many clearing spaces we have for that subject as a whole.

Therefore, it is not possible to say what the average grade is for any subject in clearing. If you do require a place in clearing I would strongly encourage you to phone up our clearing hotline on 0116 373 6000 and we will be delighted to have a chat, talk you through your options and help you make a decision which is right for you.

If you have any further questions or anything at all please do let me know.
