your exam results
your personal details (telephone number, email address and date of birth)
the name of the London Metropolitan University course you wish to study or the field of study you are interested in

3. Complete our online Clearing application form or call our Clearing hotline on 0800 032 4441 – our helpful advisers will talk you through your application. International applicants, including EU applicants who do not have settled or pre-settled status in the UK, should read our information for international students.

4. Once we've made you an offer you will need to decline your firm offer place through the UCAS Hub.

Hear from one of our students

"I chose to study at London Met because of its diversity. Before applying for London Met I was accepted to study at a private American university in Richmond. After attending a few days there I realised it wasn’t for me. London Met is full of people from different backgrounds and walks of life and this was particularly interesting to me as someone with a Moroccan background – I felt more comfortable and able to express myself."
