Heard about Clearing 2025 but not sure how it all works? Find out what you need to know and the top tips for supporting your student.

If you are the parent or supporter of a student who is holding a university offer, results day is when they’ll find out if they’ve secured a place. This can often be a day of celebration, but it can also be an unsettling time if their plans need to change.

Clearing can be seen as negative, or only as something students use when they don’t get their results. While these students can use Clearing, there’s much more to it. Clearing is a way to give students the power to make sure they pursue the course and university that’s right for them. Over a third of students who went through Clearing in 2024 were students who changed their mind on their original choice, or exceeded their expectations.

Students who might be reconsidering their options should be encouraged to contact their preferred university early. Edge Hill can offer decisions in principle ready for results day from when Clearing opens on 5 July.
