Please help with this for Manchester University Clearing!

I checked on their Clearing 2025 website and it said LLB Law was in clearing so I phoned their clearing line and the operator said that Manchester never goes into clearing for law so I couldn’t apply because it wasn’t in clearing. I asked her why then it said on their website that it was and she couldn’t give a proper answer saying it must not have been updated.

What should I do?

Is this true?

i had the same problem, i was told on july 7 it was a mistake and to check on results day but another person told me it won’t be in clearing at all. idk how they’ve managed to put so many clearing courses up by accident and still haven’t rectified it

Do you have your results? You can't apply to any courses in Clearing until you have them (unless you haven't submitted a UCAS application for this cycle).

i don’t know about op but i had my results when i called and they said the same to me, then said it was a mistake ‘they hope will be rectified shortly’. idk why it’s taking them so long to take it off the website cause it’s misleading

Did you want to apply to Manchester for law or some other subject?

How about other universities you’ve called up?

i wanted to apply for law. i've not phoned elsewhere as i'm pretty heart set on manchester so i'm just going to reapply and take a gap year if it's not actually in clearing. have you phoned anywhere else?

i'm a home student. i applied for kcl, york and man met but for philosophy. i changed my mind on what i wanted to do when the law course was already full at manchester hence needing to go through clearing or reapply.
