TOP #20 UK Universities 2026 clearing numbers

This is a list of the top 20 universities in the UK that are offering clearing places in 2026. And the hotline numbers that you need to call on results day. So why is my head in the way? There is something that I want you to understand about clearing before you call these numbers. First things first, this is correct as of the 2nd of August 2026. By the time you see this, more universities may have come out to announce that they do have places in clearing, they've all the top 20 list. So please, please do your own research instead of just taking this as gospel. Remember, the closer to results day, the more universities will have pot out their clearing numbers. And critically, understand that you do not have to apply to these same course through clearing as you did when you applied through UCAS. And one final thing, you can still go through clearing if you met your UCAS offers or if you've decided that the universities that you chose on UCAS are not for you, or you would like to go to a different setting. As promised, here are the numbers, I will get out of the way.
