UCAS Clearing Plus

Clearing Plus is a personalised tool to help you find your perfect course. Managed by UCAS, it can match university places with your interests by providing a list of courses you might like. If you’re eligible (you’ve been unsuccessful or are applying for the first time), you'll be able to view your matches via a button in the UCAS Hub. If you then express an interest in a course, the university will contact you.
