Find out what happens when you call the Clearing hotline on our how Clearing works webpage.

Please note when you call the hotline we will ask you whether you're in Clearing, as well as some questions about where you live, and whether you’ve previously had an offer from King’s. If English isn’t your first language we will ask what English language proficiency tests you have taken.

When you speak to our Clearing Advisors, we will consider your application carefully and if we are able to offer you a place to study with us, we will let you know on the phone.

If we are able to offer you a place, we will email you with your next steps, which will involve taking actions on UCAS by a certain deadline.

Please do not refer your application to King’s through Clearing unless we ask you to. We will not be able to consider unsolicited referrals.
