“I did prepare for Clearing in advance, and it’s something that I do recommend doing, have a look at the courses that are available.”
🗨️ Bea Parry joined Aberystwyth University through Clearing to study BSc Ecology. She shared her experiences of going through the Clearing process and choosing Aberystwyth as her place to study.
🎓 I thought I’d like to try something new, and university seemed like a good idea. When I was applying for Clearing, I was a little bit nervous and panicked as it was a last-minute decision, but I was also really excited about the prospect of getting into university.
📝 I applied through UCAS, which I thought was really good because they break everything down to a step-by-step process, which makes it really easy.
🌱 I did prepare for Clearing in advance, and it’s something that I do recommend doing; have a look at the courses that are available. I came in thinking that I really wanted to do Wildlife Conservation, but after having more of a look I realised that Ecology had a wider range of topics available and that that would suit me better.
🤝 Student life at Aberystwyth is quite varied, and even though we aren’t a big city there is still plenty to do. You can go out of an evening, there is usually a lot on with the Students’ Union, and nightclubs. There are also places to shop, and because we’re a closer community we all feel quite close-knit, so there’s always the security in that, along with lower costs of living.
📖 The thing I’m enjoying most about being at University is actually the learning aspect, I love a challenge, so coming back and learning new things has been really enjoyable.
💡 My Top Tips for Clearing are:
• Come and visit the University
• Research your courses
• Get your documents together
• Call or email if you have any problems, whether that’s UCAS or Aberystwyth University
