SAVE OUR NUMBER TODAY

Clearing is another way to find a place at university, perhaps one you never thought of or even considered before. Many of our students got their dream place at Queen's through Clearing and considered it one of their best moves ever.

Talk to Us

We're here to listen and give you the best possible advice to get you the place you want at Queen's. 

The Clearing hotline will open on Thursday 22 August 2024. Be prepared to talk about your qualifications and grades including GCSEs. Ask questions; Admissions tutors want you to find out as much as you can to make sure it is the right course for you.

Having a copy of your personal statement in front of you is useful, as a reminder to why you wanted to study a specific subject in the first place.

What Happens Next

If having considered your application, we are able to offer you a place, we will contact you by email. 

Either way, you will have your offer confirmed in an email from the University.

Once you have the offer email from us you will be prompted to refer yourself through UCAS track 

Why I Chose Queen's

“Four years ago, I didn't get the results I wanted. My options were either take a year out and resit or go through Clearing. So, I started looking online and recognised Queen's. It was a Russell Group University, and that's what I wanted. I remember ringing up and the staff were so lovely and helpful and gave me a verbal offer, there and then.

“I didn't really know about Belfast, I found out it was a city university which is what I really wanted. It's affordable, the most affordable in the UK, which if you're a student, is what you want. I did a one-to-one talk, accepted the offer, flew over, did a tour of Queen's and Belfast; I moved over in September – I've never regretted it.”
