Clearing 2026

You can apply now via UCAS for one of our full-time undergraduate degrees in Clearing that start in October 2026.

However, to see whether we're able to offer you a place before you register, you can speak to one of our advisors on our Clearing phone line on +44 (0)20 3907 0700 and select option 1. If you are calling out of hours, you can complete an online application form (you’ll need to create a ‘My Birkbeck’ account first).

Remember that UCAS and Clearing are only for full-time undergraduate students. If you’re a postgraduate student or you want to study with us part-time, you can apply to us directly. Learn more about our part-time and postgraduate courses.

If you want to get a feel for life at Birkbeck, come along to our Late Applicant Open Evening on 2 September, where you can take a tour of the campus, speak to the admissions team and chat to current students. You can also come along to a campus tour on Thursday 20 August.
