Clearing as it should be Birmingham Newman University opens doors on results day
As students across the country receive their A-level results today, Birmingham Newman University is reminding students that Clearing is a chance to discover new possibilities, change direction, and make confident, informed choices about their future.
Nursing student Ambra, turned to Clearing when her initial university choices didn’t work out. “The advice I would give to someone going through clearing would be to apply, to put away your fears, because the result may be positive and might be better than you expect.”
Current Mental Health Nursing student Chris, decided to apply to the University after attending an open day. He felt a strong connection to the university and the supportive community it offered. “Don’t be worried about applying, it’s best just to get stuck in, everybody here is supportive and encouraging. It was something I was worried about before I started, but I am glad I did, I got the chance to become a better me.”
After taking a gap year and facing a change in plans, current Criminology student Rebeca found that Clearing aligned perfectly with her goals.
“If you are going through clearing my advice would be to not overthink it, it’s better to try then regret not trying.”
Clearing at Birmingham Newman University is open and ready to help students find the course that’s right for them.
Professor Richard Medcalf, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Students at Birmingham Newman University, said: “We’re here to support you during what can be a stressful time. Our dedicated team is ready to offer advice, whatever your circumstances. Clearing isn’t just for students who didn’t get the grades they were hoping for, it’s also for those who’ve done better than expected, taken a gap year, or simply had a change of heart about their course or university.
“Visit our website to explore our courses and give us a call if you have any questions, we’re happy to help. We’re holding an open day on Saturday 16 August, 10am to 3pm. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience life at Birmingham Newman and meet our welcoming community.”
