Clearing FAQs


What Is UCAS Clearing?

UCAS Clearing courses are available to undergraduate applicants who either didn't get the grades for their first-choice university, are applying after the UCAS deadline or have changed their mind since making their choices.

Through Clearing, students can find a place on a degree course that still has spaces to start in the coming academic year. 

How Do I Apply For A Course Through Clearing?

  1. Our Clearing Hotline is now open to take your application and will close in October or when our courses are full, whichever is sooner. Call us on 020 3040 3162 to secure your place!
  2. We'll talk you through the application process on the phone. You'll need to tell us your UCAS ID (if you have one) and which course you'd like to study. We'll also need to take details of your qualifications, including the qualification name, your grades and the year of study, so please have this ready before calling.*
  3. We'll send your application to Falmouth University (who award our undergraduate degrees).
  4. Falmouth University will then tell you if you've been offered a place to study at the Fashion Retail Academy. 
  5. To secure your place, you must accept your offer as soon as possible, as spaces on Clearing courses are limited. You'll receive an email from Falmouth University to confirm your place once you have accepted your offer.

*International students may need to supply additional information, such as an ENIC statement. We'll let you know if you need this when you call to apply.

Can I Visit The Campus Before Submitting My Application?

Yes! All Clearing offer holders will also have the opportunity to join a building tour. Once you've completed your Clearing application and had an offer from us, you'll receive an email inviting you to book onto the next tour. You'll have the chance to see our Electra House campus and ask any questions you may have about studying with us at the Fashion Retail Academy.
