This year, for the first time, unplaced students were matched to courses available in Clearing. Today more than 10,000 students used our new Clearing Plus service and in the words of one student: “It opened my eyes to universities I hadn’t considered in the past.” #Clearing2020

A really calming voice to help you through an important time.

Good Luck to everyone today #ResultsDay

Remember to use different strategies to help yourself through today .. breathing, grounding, getting outside in nature, calming music and asking for support and more!

Thinking of you all 💓

This is a first for us this year and we are getting great feedback. I hope you find our shows helpful in these uncertain times.

Rarely use twitter but just watched the #GeorgeFloydMemorial and stood for 8.46 mins with family. It’s a bloody long time. Feel ashamed and called to action. Shocked and taking it back into what I can do personally and professionally.
