As results day approaches, the possibility of using Clearing to secure a place at a prestigious Russell Group university may seem daunting, however, Clearing can be a valuable opportunity, not a last resort.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending a Russell Group university is important because these institutions, like The University of Manchester, are renowned for their research-intensive environments, high academic standards, and exceptional teaching quality. They offer students access to cutting-edge facilities, a diverse range of academic programmes, and opportunities to engage with world-leading experts in their fields. The prestigious reputation of Russell Group universities like The University of Manchester can significantly enhance a graduate&#8217;s employability, opening doors to competitive job markets and providing a strong network of alumni connections &#8211; we\u2019re one of the most targeted universities by leading graduate employers (The Graduate Market in 2024, High Fliers Research).&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Furthermore, the emphasis on research and innovation fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills, equipping students with the tools needed to excel in their careers and make meaningful contributions to society.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>So, here\u2019s how you can support your student through this process and help ease those worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2024\/05\/Accomodation-1.png\" alt=\"Two students chatting over bowls of cereal. \" class=\"wp-image-5742\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Clearing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearing is a system that matches students to available university places. It&#8217;s not uncommon for students to find themselves in Clearing, whether they&#8217;ve not been accepted at their firm choice institution, missed their expected grades, changed their mind about their chosen course, performed better than expected in exams, or decided to apply after the main UCAS deadline. Many Russell Group universities offer places through Clearing, and your student can still secure a spot at a top-tier institution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research and prepare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation is key. Before results day, help your student research which Russell Group universities and courses are available through Clearing. Make a list of potential options and note their entry requirements. Familiarise yourselves with the Clearing process on the UCAS website to understand the steps involved. Read our<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/2024\/08\/14\/what-is-clearing\/\">What is Clearing<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/2024\/08\/14\/clearing-explained-your-faqs-answered\/\">Clearing explained: your FAQs answered<\/a><\/em> blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Manchester wants to take the pressure off searching on results day \u2013 ensure your student <a href=\"https:\/\/app.geckoform.com\/public\/#\/modern\/21FO00sqsdzpow00esjg1x8nai\">signs up<\/a> for our Science and Engineering Clearing alerts. On results day, we\u2019ll then email the student with which courses are available and the next steps they need to take.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2024\/05\/Friends3-1.png\" alt=\"Three students sat at a table chatting. \" class=\"wp-image-5740\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support the application process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On results day, your student will need to act quickly. Encourage them to contact universities directly, armed with their UCAS ID and results. Be there to support them emotionally and help with logistics, such as finding a quiet place to make calls and noting down important information from conversations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider the bigger picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reassure your student that university is just one step in their educational journey. Whether they secure a place at their first-choice university or find an unexpected gem through Clearing, what matters most is their commitment to making the most of their university experience. Encourage them to stay open-minded and focused on their long-term goals, and of course let\u2019s not forget to wish them luck in the start of their university journey. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The journey to university can be a whirlwind of emotions for both students, parents and&nbsp; supporters.
