How Clearing works

Getting your results and heading into Clearing might feel scary - but it doesn’t have to. 

In this episode, Amy shares her story, from opening her results to finding her place at the University of Reading. She talks about what it’s like going through Clearing and why it actually turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to her. 

We’re also joined by Yasmin Bell, student recruitment officer at the University of Reading who breaks down everything you need to know: 

• who you’ll speak to on the phone, 

• what to expect during the call 

• how to get prepared ahead of results day. 

Whether you're feeling nervous, unsure, or just curious, this episode is here to help you feel more confident and in control of your next steps.
