Clearing
Clearing 2025
Choose your future at York St John. Join a community with inspiring teaching that will help you achieve your ambitions. Study in a beautiful location and make friends for life.
Clearing lets you search for and apply to universities that still have places available once you have received your results.
It's a great opportunity to find the right university for you. This could be because your results are not what you expected or you decide to apply after the UCAS and UCAS Extra deadlines.
Clearing is now open and closes in October 2025. You can apply through Clearing when you have your exam results.
Take our quiz to find your next steps to apply. Scroll down for more information about our University and how we will support you.
Apply to study with us through our online form or call us on 01904 809 700 between 9.00am and 4.00pm for more information about the process.
You can also find information below on the Clearing process for Primary Education applicants.

Our mature entry offer scheme recognises non-traditional entry qualifications and experience. To be eligible you must have been out of education for at least 3 years and hold a GCSE English Language at Grade C or equivalent.
Transferring to York St John
Join any of our undergraduate courses in the 2nd or 3rd year by transferring credits from a different university. You can transfer through UCAS or by applying directly to us.
International students
If you are an international student and have received your results (and, if appropriate, your English Language test results), please complete our Global Clearing Interest form. A member of our admissions and recruitment team will review your form and provide further guidance as to whether we can accept your application for this cycle.
Don't let the stress of exams and applying to university get on top of you. I didn't get the grades I needed and ended up applying through Clearing and I couldn't be happier. The community feel you get since the university is smaller than most others makes it a much more pleasant environment to study in!

Clearing process for Primary Education applicants
We are able to offer places for our Primary Education Initial Teacher Education courses through clearing, but it is unlikely that there will be any places left on results day.
We are going to be holding an interview session shortly before results day in August on Tuesday 5 August 2025.
We will be looking for candidates that have GCSE English Language, Maths and Science at level 4/grade C or above. At Level 3 (A Levels, BTECS etc) we will need candidates to have 96 UCAS Tariff or above.
How to apply
In either of the below cases, being pre interviewed will put you in a good position and will allow you to avoid results day stress.
We will be very happy to answer any questions about this process, please contact us at admissions@yorksj.ac.uk or call on 01904 876 598.
We would invite you to interview and if you are successful, we can immediately make you an offer and take you through the acceptance process.
Please apply using our short clearing form:
We will interview you and make you a provisional offer. You would then need to make a short phone call to our clearing call centre confirmation line (option 1) on results day to let us know your results and we would then be able to make you an offer and take you through the acceptance process.
