You must be registered with UCAS to use Clearing. 

Without this ID number we cannot consider your application. 

Enter the ID number without any dashes (-) or commas (,).

You can type in the correct year into the year box of the calendar to enter your date of birth more easily.

Applicant email 

Please ensure this is correct. We will use this email to contact you about your application, and if we cannot reach you, may have to pause or cancel your application.

This should be the email address you used to register with UCAS - if you no longer have access to this email account, please use one which you can access throughout the Clearing process.

This must be the email address of the applicant and not your agent/advisor/parent or anyone else. 

Applicant mobile number

If you are based outside of the UK, please select the appropriate country and dialling code from the drop-down menu.

Which course do you wish to apply for? 

Please select your preferred course. Later, on the form, you will be given the opportunity to choose another course you might be interested in being considered for if you are not offered a place for your first choice of course.

Only courses with vacancies will be listed as an option. Courses which do not have vacancies will be shown as ‘Course Closed’. Any attempt to apply for a closed course will result in a rejected application.

Have you been unsuccessful after interview for this course, this year, at St George’s?

If you have already applied for this course this academic year but were not selected for an interview due to your predicted academic grades, you may now re-apply via Clearing for the same course. 

If you have already had an interview for this course this academic year but did not receive an offer, unfortunately, we are unable to accept another application from you for the same course through Clearing. You would be welcome to apply for the course next year if you are still interested in studying at St George’s. Alternatively, you can apply for a different course at St George's in Clearing this year.

This includes applicants who were placed on a waiting list following an interview in the main application cycle for 2023 entry. Please contact the Admissions Team directly at admissions@sgul.ac.uk if you are on the waiting list and wish to discuss your specific situation.

Have you studied at university before and not completed the degree due to academic failure?

If you have previously studied at a university (either St George’s, or another university) but did not complete your degree we will still be able to consider your application.

Please note that those who receive Clearing offers for Medicine or Healthcare programmes will need to disclose previous academic failure to the Admissions team, which will be reviewed prior to confirming our UCAS decision. The Admissions Team will request this at the appropriate time.

Are you already holding an offer for St George's or another university on UCAS?

We can consider applications from those who currently hold offers. Please note, if we determine that you are eligible for an offer in principle, we will not be able to process this whilst you hold an offer for another course.

Do you have all your academic results for this application?

We cannot consider your application yet if you are still waiting for results that form part of our entry requirements. For instance, you are still waiting for your A-Level scores, you will need to wait until you have received those results until you apply. 

Are you applying with non UK qualifications?

If you are applying on the basis of non-UK qualifications, please let us know at this stage so we can consider your application fully.

• Duke of Edinburgh Awards
• AS Level qualifications
• extended project qualifications.
• GCSEs beyond those already asked about earlier in the application form
• First Aid certificates.

You should provide us with the information listed on the form for each additional qualification you need to tell us about. There is example text in each box. Please only input what is listed on your qualification(s) and not what you understand this may be equivalent to. Please use the formatting suggested in each example box. The information required varies slightly for each option so pay close attention to the grey text and the example text in the box.

Are there any other courses that you would be interested in studying at St George’s? 

If we cannot accept you for the course that you initially indicated on the form, we may be able to offer a place or an interview for an alternative one. In this section you can indicate a preferred alternative course. 

Please note courses on this list may not have any Clearing vacancies. The latest availability of courses in Clearing will always be shown on UCAS and our website.

This section is not compulsory to complete and any choice you make will not be considered unless you are unsuccessful for your initial choice.  

Indicating an interest here in an alternative choice will have no bearing on your application for your initial choice and will not be seen as a lack of commitment or interest in your initial choice. 

It is a good idea to view our full set of undergraduate courses so that you can make an informed choice here if you wish to be considered for an alternative should you not be accepted onto your initial choice.
