Search and apply for September 2021About Clearing
Clearing 2021 will open on 6 July and run until the end of September. You can apply for a course using Clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college and the course still has places.
Clearing provides you with an opportunity if you have:
- decided to apply directly to university
- changed your mind about what or where you want to study
- missed your grades
- not got the offer you want
- decided to give university a go.
In July 2021 we will release a list of our courses that have spaces available. Vacancy lists will also be available from 6 July on the UCAS website.
If you would like to apply to Oxford Brookes before Clearing, you can search and apply for courses for September 2021 entry as part of the main application cycle.
