The clearing system is used by more than 30,000 people every year in order to find suitable courses at university.

It is used by both those who have already applied for a course but have not received the grades they needed to get into their first or insurance choice institutions, and also by those who applied late, after the UCAS deadline.

How does clearing work?

Once you have received your exam results you can apply for a place at the University of Bedfordshire by calling our hotline 0800 013 0925.

Our clearing team is on standby to offer you support and advice on a variety of topics.

They can help you get on to a course that’s right for you, answer questions and queries about finance and tell you all you need to know about studying here.

You can start by taking a look at our course vacancy list which shows all the available courses within their subject areas, so you can see the courses you're interested in and also some courses that you may not have originally considered.

Only applicants who are eligible can apply using the clearing system. Please go to Am I eligible to find out if you are eligible to apply via clearing.
