Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place.
UCAS Clearing looks different for everyone. Some students use it to switch to a course or university that fits them better. Others are finding their footing after results day didn't go as expected. Either way, it's a valid route to somewhere good.
At Northumbria University, you'll get straightforward advice and supportive guidance from people who are genuinely here to help you work out your next step, whatever that looks like. Register your interest, and we'll be in touch as soon as Clearing opens.
