Apply through Clearing

We have now closed for Clearing applications. Thank you for your interest in the University of Bath.

Is Clearing for me?

Your eligibility to apply for a place in Clearing.


You can apply if you have received your results and achieved the qualifications needed to meet our entry requirements.

You cannot apply if you do not yet have your results. If you are awaiting a remark or grade appeal, you can only apply if your current results meet our entry requirements.

You can only apply if you do not hold a place elsewhere.

Some of our vacancies are only available for international applicants as we currently have no spaces in Clearing for Home applicants for these courses.

We will not be able to consider you for international vacancies if you are UK or Irish National or have Settled or Pre-settled status through one of the UK’s EU/EEA Settlement schemes or have Indefinite Leave to Remain.

How you apply

The process to follow when applying through Clearing.


Please contact us on 01225 976833 from 08:00 BST on Thursday 15 August to find out if we can consider you.

You will need the following information:

  • details of the qualifications you have achieved (including and English qualifications)
  • passport/ immigration status
  • UCAS ID number (if you have one)
  • your contact details

If you have a confirmed place at another University

What you should do if you have another offer but are considering Bath


You can only submit a Clearing application on UCAS if you are not holding a place elsewhere.

If you want to apply for a vacancy at Bath, you should contact us to find out if we can make you a verbal offer. Once this is confirmed, you can then release yourself into Clearing on your UCAS Hub.

You should not decline your place until you have a confirmed Clearing offer.


Applying for a place

How many courses you can apply for


You can only submit one Clearing application through UCAS. If you hold more than one verbal offer, you will need to choose which one to apply for as your official choice on UCAS.
