St Mary’s Prepares for Clearing 2013

With thousands of students anxiously awaiting their A-Level results this week, those who do not achieve their expected grades are being encouraged to keep their sights set on university by securing a place through Clearing. St Mary’s University College, Twickenham is offering a limited number of places through Clearing, offering students the opportunity to find the right degree for them, whatever the outcome on Thursday. St Mary’s Registrar Tam Milner said, “When students don’t achieve the grades they had hoped for they often feel like they have wasted the last year and missed out on going to university, but this isn’t the case at all. We are offering places on various subjects through Clearing, all of which could offer students the perfect opportunity to continue of their road to higher education this September.” This is the first year that the University College has entered the Clearing process since 2010 and will be offering places in a range of subjects including Applied Physics, Theology and Religious Studies, and Media Arts. Tam added, “We only have a limited number of places available to offer through Clearing this year and will be filled quickly, so students should call us as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.” St Mary’s Clearing hotline (020 8240 4225) will be open from 8am on Thursday 15^th August, with an Open Day being held on Friday 16^th from 10am to 5pm. Students are encouraged to call or visit campus for an informal chat with trained advisors who will be able to guide them through the Clearing process and find the right course for them. The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) and the Daily Telegraph will publish lists of course vacancies on Thursday 15^th August. Any students that have applied for a university place through UCAS will be able to check the status of their application on the Track page.
