Hopefully you are pleased with your A Level results, but whether you achieved the grades you were hoping for or not, there are always choices out there for you. So, what will your next step be?
Explore your options
If you are haven’t quite decided what you want to do next, it is important to explore all your options, talk to friends/family and to colleges/universities to make sure your next move is going to get you to where you want to be.
What about clearing?
If you have already applied through UCAS and either didn’t achieve the A Level grades you were hoping to, or have had a change of heart and are looking to study a different course, maybe even doing better than you expected, you might be wondering about clearing options.
To enquire about a clearing place:
- Research the programmes you’re interested in prior to ringing
- Have your work experience references/any other relevant documents to hand when ringing
- Make sure to make the call yourself, as opposed to asking a parent to
- Be prepared to have a telephone/skype interview
