Direct answer
London South Bank University (LSBU) opened Clearing for 2026 entry on 2nd July 2026. You are automatically entered into Clearing if you have not met the entry requirements for your chosen courses or do not hold a UK university offer. You cannot apply through Clearing until you have received your exam results. LSBU provides a Priority Clearing sign-up to get ahead of the queue, and you can apply by calling 0800 923 88 88 or online.
Who is eligible for LSBU Clearing 2026
Clearing is for students who apply after 30 June, do not hold any offers, do not meet offer conditions, or decide to change their plans. If you fall into any of these categories, you are automatically entered into Clearing. The official page confirms that students who have not met entry requirements for their chosen courses or lack a UK university offer are entered into Clearing.
Priority Clearing: how to get ahead
LSBU offers a Priority Clearing sign-up. The official page does not detail the exact mechanics of the queue system, but it confirms that signing up is possible and positions you advantageously.
When you can apply
You cannot apply through Clearing until you have received your exam results. The official page states that exam results and Confirmation for 2026 entry are in August, with courses beginning in September. Applying by 30 June 2026 is recommended to be considered for a place before Clearing. UCAS Extra for 2026 entry closed on 1 July 2026. The exact closing date for Clearing 2026 is not explicitly stated in the supplied evidence and requires live rechecking.
How to apply
LSBU provides two application routes for Clearing:
- Call 0800 923 88 88
- Apply online
The official page does not specify whether international applicants should use a different phone number or online portal. This detail requires live rechecking.
What LSBU offers beyond Clearing entry
LSBU graduates consistently earn the highest average salaries among all London Modern universities, based on Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) data from 2023 to 2026. The university also provides a CareerSmart programme designed to offer career tools, workshops, networking, and CV support. These are institutional features referenced on the official Clearing page, not outcomes promised through Clearing admission.
Key dates and live availability caveats
The official page establishes that Clearing 2026 opened on 2nd July 2026. The evidence contains a discrepancy: one source states 2nd July, while another states 5th July. The 2nd July date is the primary verified fact from the current official page. The official page does not list specific course vacancies, participating programmes, or limited-availability courses. All vacancy information requires live rechecking directly with LSBU.
FAQ
Can international students use LSBU Clearing?
The official page does not explicitly restrict Clearing by nationality or residency. It states that students who have not met entry requirements or lack a UK university offer are automatically entered. Whether international qualifications are processed identically to UK qualifications during Clearing is not detailed and requires live rechecking.
Is there a guaranteed offer through LSBU Clearing?
The official page does not use the term “guaranteed offer” for Clearing applicants. No conditions for a guaranteed offer are listed. The page describes Clearing as a process for students without offers or who have not met conditions, not as a guaranteed admission route.
What happens if I applied by 30 June but did not get an offer?
You are automatically entered into Clearing. The official page confirms that students who apply after 30 June, do not hold any offers, or do not meet offer conditions are in Clearing. You can then contact LSBU through the Clearing phone line or online application.
Does LSBU Clearing guarantee accommodation or visa support?
The official Clearing page does not mention accommodation guarantees, visa processing, or international student support services. These topics are outside the scope of the supplied evidence.
How do I know which courses are available in Clearing?
The official page does not publish a static list of Clearing vacancies. The page does not indicate whether a live vacancy search tool exists.
