Clearing

It's not too late!

Join a top-rated University Course at ESC

Clearing isn’t just for students who didn’t quite meet their entry requirements — this year more than ever, people are using it to find a university college where they feel truly at home.

For some, that means choosing a place closer to home, somewhere that feels supportive, welcoming, and right for them. If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk.

At East Sussex College we’re proud to be offering student nominated top rated university courses, within the country, with three campuses, supportive tutors, and a friendly community that helps every student thrive. (94% of our students rated ESC top for student satisfaction, compared to an 80% average nationally)

41% of all our degree students received 1st class honours, and 72% of all our students received 2:1 or higher, and that’s why students often choose ESC to study their higher education with us locally.

Talk to us directly

Clearing is usually managed by UCAS and is what universities and colleges use to help students find a place when they didn’t quite land a spot on their first choice University, but, you don’t need to apply through UCAS — you can apply directly to us. Whether you’re feeling unsure about your options, or ready to secure your place, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

What is Clearing?

Clearing is simply a way for colleges and universities to offer available places to students looking for a course. It’s open until 20th October, and it can help if:

  • You’re applying to university for the first time.
  • You didn’t receive any offers.
  • You didn’t meet the entry criteria for your original choice.
  • Or, you’ve changed your mind and want to explore other options.

Talk to our Careers Team – If results day didn’t go as planned, don’t panic. Our friendly careers advisers are here to support you, talk through your options, and help you take the next step.

Clearing is open now — and your future could start right here…

Take a look at the courses that we have on offer below and remember while UCAS lists lots of opportunities, remember you can apply directly with us. That means less stress, quicker answers, and real conversations with people who care about your future.
