Clearing officially launches on Thursday, but you can apply for our courses in Clearing right now if you already\u00a0have your results. Many of our popular courses fill up quickly, so to help you prepare we\u2019ve put together our top five tips for applying to Westminster through Clearing as an international student.<\/p>\n

1. Find out what courses are available<\/h3>\n

The University of Westminster offers a wide range of courses that are available through Clearing. The quickest\u00a0way to find out is by visiting our\u00a0Clearing\u00a0website<\/a>.\u00a0The list of available courses is updated regularly, so it is important to\u00a0continue checking the site throughout the week.<\/p>\n

2. Ask lots of questions<\/h3>\n

Our Clearing hotline will open on Wednesday, you can call us from 11am\u20133pm<\/a>.\u00a0On the results day on Thursday, phone lines will be open from 8am till 7pm<\/a> and will be managed by current students\u00a0and advisers who will be able to answer all your questions. This may include questions about the\u00a0courses you are interested in, university life, student experience and other opportunities that we offer\u00a0during your time at Westminster.<\/p>\n

3. Questions you will\u00a0be asked<\/h3>\n

The process of Clearing is quick and easy, but it is\u00a0still useful to prepare for the phone call and for any\u00a0questions you may be asked. For example, one of the first questions you will\u00a0be asked is for your UCAS ID (if you have one) and personal details so it is\u00a0important to have all the\u00a0required information ready to hand. You will\u00a0also be asked about\u00a0your qualifications and your interest in the\u00a0course that you are applying for.\"clearing<\/p>\n

\u00a04. Prepare beforehand<\/h3>\n

You may want to find out more about the programme you are interested in and what you would be\u00a0expected to know. Further information about the course you are interested in and module options\u00a0are available on\u00a0the University\u2019s website. Be ambitious – consider new\u00a0subject areas not typically\u00a0studied at school or college to\u00a0widen your career prospects. Don’t forget to download our Clearing toolkit<\/a> and you may also wish to\u00a0visit the University\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about the faculty or department\u00a0you are interested in.<\/p>\n

5. Use Social media<\/h3>\n

The University’s Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Twitter <\/a>and Snapchat <\/a>will be updated regularly with information about Clearing.\u00a0You can also send us any questions if you have any queries about the whole process. Most faculties and\u00a0departments are active on social media\u00a0and you may wish to visit their\u00a0Twitter accounts\u00a0to find out specific details about the courses available to\u00a0you.<\/p>\n
