The short answer is; most students looking for a place at uni this year will be eligible to apply for Clearing - not only those who don’t get an offer from their first-choice on results day.
If you’ve applied through but don’t have a firm or insurance offer, haven’t met the conditions of the offer you have, or if you’ve simply changed your mind about where you want to study (it happens!) speak to us about getting a place at St Mary’s through Clearing.
today if:
- You didn’t meet the entry requirements for your offers, and you're looking for a place at St Mary's.
- You have an offer from a university, but you want to study at St Mary’s.
- You have not applied to any universities yet (after 30 June 2025) – don’t worry there’s still time!
- You didn’t receive any offers when you first applied.
Student journeys through Clearing

Our students come to us through Clearing for all sorts of reasons – and we place no judgement on how they got here. Hear from some of our students here about their Clearing experiences.
“I'm so glad I went through Clearing because I absolutely love it at St Mary's, it's the best decision I’ve made. It was the simplest process. I was so nervous but the lady I spoke to on the phone gave me all the information, she answered my questions and she was brilliant - I couldn't have had more help if I tried.”

Beth, a current BSc Sports Psychology student also applied through Clearing:
“Clearing can be super overwhelming, but St Mary's made the process so easy and so much less nerve-wracking than what it can be. The opportunities and experiences that I've had this year and how much I've loved my first year at St Mary's has really made it worth it.”
