Congratulations! You’ve got your Clearing place to come and study at Lancaster University. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our University. Here are a few things you need to do next.
Once you receive an offer through Clearing, you’ll be invited to one of our exclusive Clearing offer holder events. These occur both in person and online, allowing you to discover our campus and learn more about your course. You’ll receive details of this and other helpful information once you’ve been made an offer, so keep an eye on your emails!
