Congratulations! You've taken the first steps of your adventure with us – we can't wait to meet you.

Accepting your Clearing offer

Once we’ve made you an offer, you’ll need to accept it on your UCAS Hub by adding us as a Clearing choice by the deadline we provide.

Sign in to your UCAS Hub (ucas.com)

If you're a new UK (Home) student, you'll need to apply for student finance. If you've applied already, you'll need to log in to your student finance provider to update your course details.

If we offer you a place through Clearing, we'll aim to help you find a room that's owned, managed or approved by the Uni.
