A-level students miss out on clearing places

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:58:38 GMT

More than 130,000 A-level candidates eligible for clearing places are set to end up without a university place this year.

UCAS Clearing Search 2009

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:11:34 GMT

This is the official UCAS clearing search where it's really easy to find the right course whether you're a home or international student. Search for universities and courses in all regions and levels.

So, it's happened. You applied to a course through Clearing and managed to get a place. But getting into further study is only half the job. Actually going to university or college is another hurdle altogether, and where you stay can make or break your experience of higher education.

David Lammy: 'Do what is right for you'

As he prepares the official response to this year's A-level results, David Lammy can clearly recall the emotions and tension of the run-up to his own day of reckoning. It was the summer of 1990, and he was holding an offer to study law at one of the country's leading universities, and it all rested on his grades for English, history and religious studies.

Damn! For whatever reason, you haven't made the A-level grades you need to get into your chosen university. Automatically, you are beamed into the zone known as Clearing, where you hope to find another course or another university that will have you.

With Clearing only days away, overseas universities are lining up British students who are looking for a place to study. Opportunities are opening up from Australia to the Caribbean, and from the Netherlands to the United States, so if your results leave you without an obvious next step, it could be time to look further afield.

Keep calm and carry on

Take a gap year

Ayo Wallace, 19, didn't get the grades she wanted and decided to take a gap year instead. She spent three months on a volunteering project in a village in Fiji, organised by Lattitude Global Volunteering, a charity which offers bursaries and funding to young people who would otherwise struggle to raise the money required for a gap year.
