Clearing

If you can't make our Clearing Open Day, why not book one of our Clearing Campus Tours instead?

These are designed to give you a genuine feel for our vibrant campus, state-of-the-art facilities, and supportive learning environment. You'll explore our modern teaching and learning spaces, buzzing social areas, library, sports centre, cafes, and more. Tours are led by a friendly mix of current students and staff who’ll share their personal experiences and answer any questions you have along the way.
