Middlesex Clearing

Clearing is how universities and colleges fill any places they still have on their courses.

Middlesex Clearing 2025 is closed

Middlesex is no longer accepting applications through Clearing. We are now accepting applications for September 2026. You can apply through UCAS – see how to apply and the deadlines.

If you wish to start before September, we have a limited number of courses beginning in January 2026.

Clearing will reopen in July 2026 for courses starting in the 2026/27 academic year.

You can use Clearing if:

  • You’re applying after 30 June 2026
  • You haven’t received any offers (or none you want to accept) from a university or college at this point
  • You don’t meet the conditions of your offers
  • You’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in your UCAS application
  • And, the course you are applying in Clearing for still has available places.

Explore our courses to find a wide range of options. Register your interest and we will start sending you information all about Clearing from May 2026.

You can also chat to admissions who’ll be happy to help you with any questions about your chosen course or the application process.

Your guide to Clearing

Hi there, I'm Praveen, and I'm one of the Clearing advisors here at Middlesex University.

I know Clearing can be really scary, but it's really nothing to worry about, and there's a place out there for you.

So, this is what to expect if you're thinking about applying to Middlesex University through Clearing this year.

Clearing is the process where you get to apply to university right when you get your exam results.

So the purpose of this guide is to make you ready for when these come out.

It's a great opportunity if you didn't receive the grades you were hoping for, or you changed your mind on your course or university, or you haven't applied to uni at all.

As a Clearing advisor, here are some tips that I could give you to make your journey easier.

First of all, do your research and find out which course you would like to apply for and then make a list of all the universities offering this course, hopefully including Middlesex, and write down their contact details.

And after that, make sure you have all your qualifications ready because you will need them to apply for the university.

So results day is here. This is a big day because you're going to call all the universities.

But first things first, make sure you go on UCAS and check the situation on all the other applications that you might have applied for.

These are the four things that you need to have ready by the time you call us.

First of all, your exam results, your UCAS ID, the course that you want to apply for, and maybe any questions that you would like to ask one of our Clearing advisors about it.

Probably be connected to one of us. We will get your personal identification, UCAS ID, get details about the course they would like to apply for and then check our availability.

Check if you meet the entry requirements with the grades and if yes, then we will be able to make you an offer.
