If you haven't already applied through UCAS you can still apply to us for this September.

We advise that you call us on 0800 094 9071 in the first instance, to check that you are eligible to apply for your chosen course.

Once your eligibility is confirmed, you can apply using our online application form.

Please note that you must only apply through this method if you are not registered with UCAS this year.

You can use Self-Release via UCAS Track if you have accepted a place at another University but have decided you want to come to Swansea.

Do take this decision carefully as you may lose your place at your original university if you decide you’ve made a mistake.

Read our guide on how self-release for further information.

If you have already applied through UCAS for September 2021 you will automatically be entered into the Clearing process if you don't meet the grades required by your firm and insurance choices.

For many students, Clearing only becomes available once their results have been released and it transpires that they haven’t met the entry criteria for their chosen courses. A-level results day in 2021 is on Tuesday 10 August.

If you become eligible to use Clearing an 'Add Clearing choice' button will become available on your Track Choices screen. Alternatively, check directly with your firm and insurance choice universities as soon as possible.

If you haven't already applied through UCAS don’t worry, you can still apply to us for this September.

Please note that you must only apply through this method if you are not registered with UCAS this year.

We cannot discuss your son or daughter's application unless you have been nominated on their UCAS form, or have their permission. 

However, with that permission, we can advise you directly on accommodation, the kind of support they will have when they arrive here, and general information about the University, Swansea and the surrounding area.

Call us on our helpline - 0800 094 9071 or visit our Information for Parents and Guardians pages for further information.

If you are appealing your grades, and we have made you a clearing offer onto a foundation or other alternative course based on your current grades, please note that we may be able to move you onto your preferred course if your new grades match our current entry requirements for that course.

If we receive your new grades before the start of the course, you will be able to start on your preferred course. If we receive them after the start of the course, and before 30 October, we can move you onto your preferred course during term.

Please note that this excludes any commissioned/clinical courses which are funded by Welsh Government.
