Can I apply to a different course through Clearing to the one I originally applied to?
Yes, you can apply for any course with vacancies that you're interested in. However, think about your options carefully before accepting an offer. The latest vacancy information lists will be displayed on this website from SQA results day (Scottish vacancies only) or A level results day (all vacancies), and will be updated continuously until the end of September.
Please be aware that the universities will receive your original personal statement - if you wish to send a revised copy, speak to the university in advance to see if they're happy to receive a new statement and ask for an address where you can send it.
