Clearing at the
University Centre
2024

Clearing is an excellent opportunity for you to secure a place at the University Centre if you have received your results and they weren't what you were expecting or if you haven't yet applied for university. This page aims to help you explore your options and put you in contact with our friendly team of advisers.

What is Clearing and how do I apply?

You can use Clearing if:

  • you’re applying after 30 June
  • you didn’t receive any offers (or none you wanted to accept)
  • you didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
  • you’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in your UCAS hub

To view the courses we have available through Clearing at the University Centre, and apply to study with us, please visit our UCAS page. If you don't already have an application in the system you will not be able to add the course choice at this stage. Please let us know your UCAS ID if you are completing an application for the first time, so we can find and add your course choice for you.

We will need to see copies of your certificates, including your GCSE Maths/English and your Level 3 qualifications. If you are a mature student (over 21) and you don't have formal qualifications, we may be able to consider your application based on your experience.

Staying in Cornwall was a key factor when studying to become a teacher, as I want to give back to the local community. Studying at Truro enabled me to do so. The class sizes are small, and I think this is highly beneficial for learning as lectures feel almost 1-1 and discussions are easier to have. By having small class sizes, everyone helps each other out and I have made lifelong friends.
