Change your plan
Changed your mind about what or where to study?
Or maybe you didn't get the results you expected - for better or worse.
If any of that sounds like you, don't worry, you've got options in Clearing.
Clearing 2026 will open on 2 July
You can still apply for an undergraduate course before Clearing.
The deadline for applications is 30 June 2026. Any applications submitted after this date will be entered into Clearing.
Visit our undergraduate website to explore your options for September 2026 entry.
Swap to Bradford from another university
It's not too late to swap to Bradford, even if you've got an unconditional firm offer for another university.
If you’re offered a place on your dream course at Bradford, visit UCAS Hub to release yourself into Clearing. Then add the course you've been offered as your Clearing choice.
Swap your course choice at Bradford
Already got a place on a course at Bradford but hoping to swap to a different course with us?
Call our Clearing helpline (when Clearing is open) to discuss your options.
If you're offered a place on a different course at Bradford, you’ll need to decline your existing offer on UCAS Hub and add your new course as your Clearing choice.
Accept your alternative course offer
If you don't get the grades for your original offer, we might offer you an alternative course.
Your alternative offer will be relevant to your original course. This allows you to explore similar career options and use many of the same skills.
If you've been made an alternative offer, you can accept it in your UCAS Hub.
Study a Foundation Year
Foundation Years are one-year programmes that teach the knowledge and skills you'll need to progress to an undergraduate degree.
They’re ideal if you don’t meet the entry requirements for the degree course you're passionate about.
Foundation Years also allow you to get to know the university and make friends before you start your full degree course.
When you've successfully completed your Foundation Year course, you can step up to the degree you want to study.
Is a Foundation Year your best option?
It could be, if:
- you haven’t got the qualifications needed for undergraduate study
- you want to experience higher level education without committing to a full degree
- you're looking to gain confidence and develop your skills
- you want a taster of a subject you are interested in studying at university
- you want to head in a new direction by studying something completely new
