Clearing for international agents

The quickest and most effective way to apply is by using our online Clearing application form. This allows our admissions team to assess applications promptly.

Alternatively, our Clearing hotline is now open: +44 (0)3300 586940. However, we still recommend using the application form wherever possible. If you plan to call the Clearing hotline, you may be asked to confirm you have permission to discuss the applicant's details on their behalf. 

When applying, international applicants are required to provide details of their current level of English language proficiency, including the:

• test taken
• date the test was taken
• unique test reference number

To ensure a smooth application process:

• prepare all applicant documents in advance
• do not submit duplicate applications for the same student and course, as this can cause delays
• if the applicant is interested in multiple courses, please email admissions@southampton.ac.uk before submitting the application form

If we can offer your applicant a place, you'll need to log the application through UCAS. We'll advise you on how to do this, and if our admissions team need any further information about the applicant's qualifications, we will contact you directly.

We cannot make conditional offers through Clearing. 

To ensure an applicant's Clearing application is tagged to your agency, please email tagging@soton.ac.uk to submit a tagging request. You must include a screenshot of the UCAS application page as proof of support.

Applicants can also submit a tagging request by emailing tagging@soton.ac.uk. Applicants must use the same email address that was provided in the Clearing application when submitting a tagging request.
