You probably won't know if you need to use Clearing until May or even results day. The best way to tackle this is to prepare for Clearing, Extra, and Adjustment just in case you do need them. We've teamed up with Teesside University in this guide to help you create an action plan.
Have you considered all your options?
Just because these opportunities exist, doesn't mean you have to take them! There are lots of alternatives to going to university, so have a think about what you might like to do if you don't quite meet your offers or if you change your mind.

You could:

Take a foundation year - most universities offer foundation years as a way of bridging any gaps between your final year of school and your first year of university. They tend to have lower entry requirements than bachelor's degrees and are a great way to jump straight into the university experience. You can find them on the UK university shortlisting tool, or check out our guide 'Foundation Years, Foundation Degrees and Art Foundations'.

Resit your exams - if you know you could have done better and want to try again, go for it! Have a chat with your teachers - they might allow you to resit the year, or suggest a local centre to resit your exams without having to repeat school. Bear in mind though, that if you take your exams outside of school, you'll have to pay an entry fee of anything between £40-£200 depending on the subject.

Work - what better way to get lots of experience and explore your options? You could find a job related to the subject you want to study, or you could sign up to a temping agency and try out lots of different jobs. You might find this changes the subject or place you want to study at anyway!

Travel - another great way to get experience is to see the world! You could volunteer abroad, work abroad, or explore and take in the sights. Travelling is a great use of your time and if you choose to apply to university on your return, you can use your experiences to boost your Personal Statement.

Apply for an apprenticeship - apprenticeships are great ways to learn while you earn and get into an industry you're interested in without needing a degree. You can find live, local apprenticeships using Unifrog's Apprenticeship shortlisting tool.

Work out the best choice for you whether that's using Clearing or finding an alternative to university. Have a chat with your family and teachers to get their thoughts too, but remember that this should be your choice.
What should you do before Clearing, Extra, and Adjustment start?
There are a couple of ways that you can be ready for whatever happens next.
Make a list
Have a list of alternative towns, cities, courses, and universities that you've researched in as much detail as your original choice - you don't want to rush into a decision on the day and regret it later. Think about some of the universities you considered the first time round, or ones that you didn't choose as your firm or insurance choices, and use Unifrog's UK university shortlisting tool to explore further afield and to save your findings for when you need them.

From the 5th July, you can also start using Unifrog's new Clearing tool to start researching and favouriting possible alternatives. Use it in the lead up to results day to save options that sound interesting, but remember that vacancies in Clearing are constantly updated. You need to contact universities directly when you're ready to start looking for offers to check for the most up to date vacancy information.
Prepare for an interview
The admissions tutor might ask you interview style questions, or book you an interview before they offer you a place. Practice answers to general questions like: why do you want to study this subject? Why do you want to study at this university? What makes you a suitable candidate? You already have great answers to these questions in your Personal Statement so dig it out again and refresh your memory to get ahead of the game.

If you're applying for a practical course or a maths or science course, you might be given scenarios to work through or calculations to solve. None of this is a test - it's just to check that you are the right fit for the course, so brush up on your knowledge and reasoning skills just in case.
Have a list of questions ready
This is your opportunity to ask your admissions team all your questions so make a list of everything you might need to know. Be wary though - you don't want to ask questions that you can find the answers to on the website or it'll look like you haven't properly researched. You could ask about virtual campus tours, student or graduate case studies available to read, or the best university social media channels to follow.
What should you do on results day?
Whether you're going into school or college, or receiving them online, you need to get up early and check your results! However nervous you are, having them earlier puts you in a much better position if you do need to use Clearing or Adjustment. Thousands of students across the country use the system and competitive courses fill up quickly.

To use Clearing or Adjustment, you need:

Your UCAS login, Clearing number, and personal ID

Your list of alternatives - ideally in order of preference

Your exam results (including your GCSE or National 4 or 5 results)

Your Personal Statement

Your questions for the admissions team.

You can use Unifrog's Clearing tool or the shortlists you already made to find the contact information for universities. Some universities will expect you to phone them, while others will use livechats, registration forms, or social media - check your universities' websites to find out how they want you to get in touch. However you get in touch, you have to be brave here and contact them yourself - apart from showing that you can be independent, most universities will only offer a place if they are speaking to the applicant directly.

You must contact the university you most want to go to first! You can only accept one offer through Clearing so contact your universities in order of preference. If you aren't suitable for the course you've enquired about, the admissions team might be able to make more appropriate suggestions - be open minded, but be careful not to be talked into something you're not happy studying!

Remember that you can also choose to release yourself from your firm or insurance university offers if you change your mind and use Clearing to find something new, but make sure you get an offer first!

Legal Cheek is holding its first ever virtual event for sixth formers and school leavers interested in entering the law via the solicitor apprentice route.

Thursday 15 July, from 4pm to 6pm, taking place virtually
Legal Cheek is holding its first ever virtual event for sixth formers and school leavers interested in entering the law via the solicitor apprentice route.
Taking place on the afternoon of Thursday 15 July, the session features a panel discussion with solicitor apprentices from Clyde & Co, CMS and Gowling WLG followed by virtual networking with the firms' early careers recruitment teams.

Date: Thursday 15 July 2021
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Sixth formers, School leavers

All three firms run legal apprenticeship programmes with The University of Law (ULaw), which sees school leavers study law degrees part-time while training as paralegals and then solicitors, earning while they learn.

The speakers

Natasha Davey, solicitor apprentice at Clyde & Co

Sophia De Lucia, solicitor apprentice at CMS

Katy Love, solicitor apprentice at Gowling WLG

Emma Benoit, senior tutor at ULaw's Leeds campus

During the virtual event we'll also hear from ULaw about how the academic element of this new route into the legal profession operates and dovetails with the on-the-job training.

Apply to attend below. You'll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers. In formulating those questions we ask you to focus on their experiences as legal apprentices, their reasons for choosing this route over the traditional graduate path and what they hope to achieve in the future.

· MH1 - this is open to Y13 at lunch time for either study or socialising. Food is allowed. If full, you can spill into MH2 next door. However, please do clean up your litter when you leave. Masks should be worn at all times, unless you are eating

· Common room - food is allowed. Masks should be worn at all times, unless you are eating or are exempt

Please do respect these rules and if you are reminded of them anyone supervising PS1/PS2, be respectful. We are ensuring the safety of the school community for all students. If you don't follow the warning, you will be asked to leave.

As you will have hopefully seen in form time today, I will no longer be working as Year 12 Coordinator after half term. I am moving to become Year 7 Coordinator as Ms Moore is now as Associate Assistant Headteacher – we are currently in the process of visiting primary schools, seeing their very excitable faces and getting ready for Induction Day (which I am sure all of you can still remember!)

It has been an privilege to work with you. You are such passionate, resilient individuals and I am in awe of how many of you have dealt with the last year and a half. You challenge social injustices and truly believe we can build a better society - the idea that I can support students in doing this, is why I love working in education.

The wonderful Ms Gold will be taking over as your A Level Year Coordinator from after half term. She has excellent experience with working with Year 13 and will work with you all in making sure you are fully prepared for your final year in Secondary School. Ms Khudeza will also still be working with vocational students into Year 13.

I will still be around Woodbridge and if you ever need to talk my door is always open.

All the best and have a lovely half term. Here is to a bit more sun!

In this webinar, The Oxbridge Formula Team will be joined by our lead CTMUA and MAT tutor, together with a number of current Oxbridge students ready to share their own experiences of applying to and studying at Oxford and Cambridge.

You're probably already familiar with what the MAT, CTMUA and CSAT are, so that isn't what we're going to be focusing on.

Our primary focus will be to :

teach you how to articulate abstract concepts to be able to tackle questions much more quickly

show you how to rewrite unreadable expressions make problem solving easier

give you concrete time-saving tricks for getting fast and fluent at problems

show you what a written answer looks like for an awkward "explain" or "justify" question, in order to gain full marks

explain our problem-planning methodology so you know what to write down before you even start the question

speak to current students studying Maths and Computer Science and pick their brains about the degree course and their own preparation.

We'll also briefly talk about our 7-month Oxbridge Mastermind. (But don't worry, that's only a small part of the whole presentation!)

As we head towards May, the 2020-21 admissions cycle is drawing to a close. To those who have gained success, congratulations - to those still looking at options, there are still avenues to pursue in many countries around the world

At The University Guys, we celebrated our students gaining 209 offers from 133 universities across 13 different countries:

Looking ahead, students considering the US for 2022 will need to adapt to a much increased level of selectivity, as many were caught out by colleges seen previously as 'safe' options proving anything but amongst increase competition. This was particularly notable in the University of California, but also in many other popular locations around the USA. With increased efforts in Canada and across Europe to attract international students, students may want to cast their net widely as they explore their options.

As the summer term moves ever forward, please do get in touch if we can help you, your child or your students.

With best wishes,

David

Every Thursday at 16:30, Oxford Uni is livestreaming one hour of maths problems, puzzles, mini-lectures, and Q&A with Oxford students and lecturers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Welcome to the club! The Oxford Online Maths Club is a weekly livestream from the University of Oxford with maths problems, puzzles, mini-lectures, and Q&A. It's free, interactive, casual, and relaxed, and the livestreams are recorded so that you can watch back afterwards if you can't make it to the live broadcast on Thursday afternoons. The club is mostly aimed at people about to apply to university or about to start a Maths course, but everyone's welcome and there's no registration needed. Whether you're the only person you know who's interested in mathematics, or if you're an entire sixth-form maths club looking for more maths content, we're here for you.

Our regular host is Dr James Munro (admissions and outreach coordinator for Maths at Oxford), and we often have current Oxford students answering questions in chat and appearing on the livestream to talk about maths. In some of the episodes we tackle tricky maths problems, in some of them we explore one maths topic in more detail, and in some of them we have a current Oxford student or staff member on the livestream to talk about a bit of maths that they love.

Every episode comes with some further reading notes for you to explore the topics we cover in the livestream in more depth. If you're looking for super-curricular mathematics (perhaps you're looking for an EPQ topic, or you're trying to explore maths beyond the classroom before applying to university), then this should be a good place to start. Click on "Read More" under any episode on this page to see these notes (the episodes go live on Thursdays, and the notes are uploaded here on Fridays, so if you come back at the weekend there will be something to read).

You won't be able to join the programme if you have the same or equivalent qualification, or work experience at a similar level in a similar field. This may include a related apprenticeship, a university degree or a role in which you may have developed similar skills.

We'll carry out an eligibility check as part of the application process.

To apply for a place on one of our bootcamps, please follow these simple steps:

1. Carefully choose the role and apprenticeship programme for which you wish to apply.

2. Click the relevant button below to complete our application form.

3. Please choose your location from the dropdown menu on the application form.

4. The application form will ask you certain questions about your background to check your eligibility, and will ask about your qualifications and interest in the role. Please include your predicted / on track grades if you do not have your final grades finalised and have been unable to complete your studies due to Covid-19.

5. Please give a good amount of detail in your answers about why you are interested in the role and why you need LTSB's support.

6. You can expect to receive a follow-up phone call from one of the LTSB Team. This will be to find out more about you and why you want to get into digital, data, or customer service (as appropriate).

7. We will support you through an assessment process so that, if successful, you can join the relevant bootcamp in the summer.

Q: Can I take part in LTSB's programmes and still be eligible for Universal Credit?
