Clearing courses 2026 (with grades)

[HPFA]

Links to the pre-92 universities who have published their clearing vacancies with grades. No snobbery intended - post 92s don't tend to publish their grade requirements.

Spot the subjects dropping in popularity - Warwick offering English and Modern Languages at BBB.....

If anyone knows of others please feel free to add.

Will try and update as more unis publish their requirements.

Thanks for posting. Econ at Southampton down 2 grades to BBB. I wonder if they rejected ppl first time round who were not predicted AAB…

Just shows that the whether you get a place at particular universities to do popular courses is dependent on the year you apply .

Surrey have dropped one grade.

Nottingham now published grade requirements:

It's quite shocking isn't it, one of the Exeter language courses is asking for grades BCC, is that right?

Surrey now released grades:

Bristol appeared to be in clearing last week on the Complete University guide but that's no longer the case. On the University of Bristol's own website, it also said they were in clearing (inc for home students) but it didn't have the new grade requirement, whereas on CUG it said it was equivalent to AAB (usual grade AAA). Shame it's gone as it would an option for DC if he doesn't get his first choice.

I can't believe how low the grades are e.g. for instance BCC for Law and BBC for Aerospace Engineering....I wonder what the rate of 2-1 (or above) degree classifications are at Surrey. Can't imagine any law firms would accept people with less than AAA for a-level and a 2-1 degree.

Nottingham have a lot of tough courses offered at BBC!

74.7 according to Times

Well this could either suggest that Surrey is highly effective at improving outcomes for low-achieving students, or that it's only a minority with such low grades (< 25%), or that the estimate is based on previous cohorts where they didn't have to lower their grades to such an extent.

@Fabfabfab there is no standard for university grades so I'm not sure all 2.1s or firsts are equal.

I did check out the Bristol list but their grade requirements seemed to be much the same as normal.

A couple of unis I suspect their contextual offer will actually become their clearing requirements.

it’s % of ‘good’ degrees is quite low as related to its ranking. Others with similar ranking are generally high 70s +

It was lower on the Complete university guide last week but could have been a mistake, or the IB students (or international) may have applied for the places as they already have their results. I don't think Bristol tends to go into clearing usually.

You can do a very wide range of courses at Notts with BBC or ABD or A*BE !!

Hi all,

There is no central list of subjects with clearing grade requirements is that right? Ucas has a list but original requirements, so you have to go to individual websites, from what I can see.

DC is interested in a pretty competitive subject and once you get past top 11, 15 of rank 12-30 are in clearing. All seems a bit mad, albeit encouraging for next year…

There isn't any central list, probably because once you get nearer the deadline the lists will change very quickly as places get filled.

I know some people keep notes so they'll have an idea of what will be on offer next year but of course it won't be guaranteed.

There seems to be a trend for unis being more open about clearing - although Bristol aren't publishing their grades the fact they have a list at all says something.

Sometimes there are clearing places which allow students to trade up - so they don’t budge on grades

Is that mainly elite/ top 10??

Yep, that happened with Durham last year - clearing for those who’d done better than expected.

Leicester now with grades:

OMG - now it begins.... Very low grades at Leicester.

Blimey, Maths for CCD, is that wise?
