The Uni Guide has asked university admissions experts for their advice on finding a place on a degree course through Ucas Clearing.

Here’s what to expect when you call a university to discuss Clearing vacancies including who you’ll speak to, what information they’ll ask you for, how to get in touch with unis if you can’t get through on the phone and whether you’ll get an offer right away.

Featuring expert advice from Aberystwyth University, Newcastle University, University of Aberdeen, Solent University and University of Plymouth.

The Uni Guide is the free and independent way to search and compare UK degree courses and universities as well as finding advice about your journey to higher education. https://www.theuniguide.co.uk/
