How to apply through clearing

There are two ways to apply to us during Clearing.

• If you have an active UCAS profile or want to apply to us through Adjustment, use UCAS track.
• If you don't have an active UCAS profile – and you know that you only want to study a specific course at Brighton – you can apply to us direct.
• Before you do either of these you'll need to call us and we will help you from there.

Have these items on hand when you call us.

• A list of the courses or subject areas you’re interested in.
• Your qualifications and grades.
• Your UCAS ID number (If you haven’t already applied through UCAS, when you call us we'll send you an RPA form to complete). 
• Your date of birth, address and phone number.
• For art and design courses, a link to your online digital portfolio. Here's help how to create an online portfolio.
• You may also want to make a list of questions that you’d like to ask about the university and the course you're interested in. 

Here's what happens when you make that call.

• The first person you'll speak to when you call will be a member of the enquiries team. You'll have a chat about the courses you're interested in, the university and whether or not your grades are suitable. 
• If they are and the course is available, you may be given a verbal offer there and then or you may be passed through to a course admissions tutor to make you a verbal offer.
• Remember, for art and design courses, you’ll need to provide us a link to your online portfolio for the tutor to review.  
• An interview is a requirement before we can make you an offer of a place on some education and health courses. When you call we will make an initial assessment of your suitability for the course and advise you about next steps, this may include interview. Here's how to prepare for Clearing interviews.

If you are made a verbal offer, then you’ve done it – you have a place at the University of Brighton! Next you'll receive an email confirmation of how long the place will be held for you and how to accept your offer.
