If you are still looking for a university place, you may wish to consider the University of Birmingham’s Dubai campus, or alternatively, you can search for courses starting in September 2025 on our course finder.
Results, Confirmation and Clearing
Most offers to study at university are conditional on your exam results. This means that when you receive your results, it is likely that you will know if you have met your offer and we will be able to confirm your place through confirmation.
Confirmation is where universities make final decisions on the conditional offers made to applicants earlier in the year for the firm (first choice) or insurance (second choice) choices you make.
You can check the progress of your application using UCAS Hub and if you receive confirmation of your place then, congratulations! It's now time to start preparing for your university journey.
If you've achieved better than expected, missed out on your firm and insurance choices, or have changed your mind about what course you'd like to study and where you'd like to study, then you might want to consider your options through Clearing.
What is Clearing?
Clearing is a fantastic opportunity to find a place at university. Whether you achieved better results than you thought you would, missed out on your required grades, or changed your mind about what and where you want to study, you can apply through Clearing and refocus your future. Start your next chapter at the most targeted UK university by top graduate employers ('Graduate Market in 2024', High Fliers Research).
You can also find out more about Clearing on the UCAS website.
