Clearing is the process through which universities and colleges fill remaining course places after A Level and BTEC results are released. Clearing runs from 2 July to 19 October 2026.
Applying through Clearing at BCUC is straightforward:
BCUC is not a traditional university, and that is exactly the point. Higher education at BCUC is built around people, not prestige. Whether you are staying local after college or taking your first step into degree-level study, here is what sets BCUC apart.
BCUC offers personalised support at every stage of the application process, from initial enquiry through to enrolment.
Speak directly with an adviser who will listen, help you understand your options and give you honest, personalised advice, with no pressure attached.
From mental health and wellbeing support to financial guidance and disability services, our student support team is available before you even enrol. You do not have to wait until your first day to ask for help.
Not sure which course is right for you? Browse our full list of courses and filter by subject area, study mode or level.
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone. Our team is available via phone, email and in person.
