Clearing 2025

Join our real London community this September

Looking to start university this autumn? We can help... Last year we helped hundreds of people just like you find a place on a full-time undergraduate degree through Clearing – and our admissions team is here again to help you through the process. Simply call our Clearing hotline on 0800 032 4441 or apply online.

What is Clearing? If you’re from the UK – or if you're from the EU and have settled or pre-settled status – Clearing is a service, open every year between July and September, that can help you find a place on one of our full-time undergraduate courses starting in the autumn. Clearing is ideal if you decide you want to go to university a little later than usual, you don't get the grades you were hoping for or you've changed your mind about the course, or university you originally chose. Read answers to other common questions about Clearing in our frequently asked questions.

Applying over the phone? Check our hotline opening hours. Remember, you can apply online at any time.

Meet our real London community

Like the wider London community, our students, staff and graduates come from all kinds of backgrounds – some from around the corner, others from around the globe. Each and every one of them belongs here and uniquely contributes to our community and the city around them. They are The Real London. This is The Real London. Our Real London stories are brought to life by a London Met graduate who was inspired by the extraordinary people who make up the University community here. We hope you enjoy getting to know them as much as we did!
