Apply now through Clearing
We all have a True North - the place we’re meant to be. Sometimes your plans change or take unexpected turns, but that doesn’t mean you’ve gone off course. Through Clearing, we’re here to help you find your way to a university experience that’s right for you - one that sets you up for success, and takes you further than you ever imagined.
What is Clearing?
Clearing is how universities fill any places they still have on their programmes. Clearing is a way to get a university place if you don’t get the grades for your firm or insurance choice, you haven’t received any offers, or you have changed your mind and no longer want to go to your firm choice. You can also apply in Clearing if you’re applying after 30 June.
When can I apply through Clearing?
You can apply for a programme at the University of Aberdeen using Clearing from 4 July right up to 19 October 2026, if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college. The earlier you act, the more choice you’ll have!
