Guide to Clearing

Clearing opens on 5 July, but you can apply to Herts from 1 July. All courses in Clearing will be clearly marked on our subject and course pages. Sign up to become a Clearing VIP and get updates, and exclusive info straight to your inbox.

Yes, absolutely! If you’re joining us through Clearing, you can still apply for student finance to help cover tuition fees and living costs as normal. Visit the official gov.uk website for full guidance and to apply.

If you have already made your student finance application but are changing your course or university choice, you'll need to let SFE (Student Finance England) know and they will update your application.

We offer a range of non-repayable scholarships to celebrate academic success, talent, or personal achievements. Check to see what scholarships are available and if you are eligible.

As soon as you receive an offer, we’ll email you with next steps on how to accept it. We recommend choosing Herts as your UCAS Clearing choice as soon as possible. This secures your place and lets you progress with the rest of your applications such as accommodation and finance. If you do not select us as your Clearing choice before the deadline stipulated in your offer email, it may result in us being unable to confirm your place.

We’d love you to explore our campus! You can book a campus tour or visit our undergraduate events page to see upcoming events. If you're unable to visit us in-person, sign up for Clearing VIP Access to join our Clearing Online Open Day on 23 July, or take a virtual tour to view our facilities.

Have a question? We're here to help! You can contact our team here. Or why not become a Clearing VIP and book a 15-minute call with a Clearing advisor and get a reserved spot at our Clearing Online Open Day where you can get all your questions answered.

Head to your course page to check specific entry requirements. During Clearing, we often take a more flexible, student-focused approach to admissions and will consider each application on an individual basis.

You can apply for student finance as soon as you have an offer, no need to wait! Just update your course details later if needed. The earlier you apply, the better.

Our bursary scheme helps make the everyday costs of university life such as books, travel, and living expenses easier. Check to see if you are eligible for a bursary. These can make a real difference.

You'll receive an email from us within 48 hours of submitting your application, often sooner! Ensure you add ask@herts.ac.uk to your contact list so you don’t miss our email. Also check your spam/junk folders just in case.

Absolutely! You can still submit an application for on-campus accommodation if you apply through Clearing. We offer a variety of rooms to suit all budgets - bills included. Explore our accommodation options.
