Direct answer
University of West London (UWL) Clearing is now open for September 2026 entry. The official Clearing courses page lists available programmes across its West London and Reading campuses. International applicants must use UWL’s direct application form, submit specified documents, and email their applicant ID to [email protected]. The dedicated international Clearing page outlines a four-step process that includes document submission and visa preparation. Course availability is live and requires checking the current Clearing course list.
What the official pages establish
The two official UWL Clearing pages confirm that Clearing is currently open. The main Clearing courses page displays an A–Z list of programmes with UCAS codes and campus locations. The international students page provides a step-by-step guide covering the direct application form, document requirements, and visa-related steps. Both pages direct enquiries to [email protected] and the Clearing helpline +44 (0) 20 8231 2468 from outside the UK.
What still requires live rechecking
Course vacancies are not fixed. The official page states “Clearing is now open” and invites students to “register to get the latest Clearing updates and availability.” Individual course availability can change throughout the Clearing period. Any applicant should verify current vacancies by contacting UWL directly or checking the live Clearing course pages before applying.
Participating and non-participating courses
The official Clearing courses page lists all programmes currently available through Clearing. Every course on that A–Z list is a participating course. The list includes undergraduate degrees with and without foundation years, spanning disciplines such as nursing, business, computing, engineering, music, and law. Programmes not appearing on the list are either not participating in Clearing or have no current vacancies. UWL does not publish a separate list of excluded courses; absence from the Clearing course list is the only indicator.
How international students apply through Clearing
International applicants follow a four-step process published on the official international Clearing page:
- Apply using the direct application form. Select the “international” tab under “how to apply” on the relevant Clearing course page and click the green “apply now” button. Submit all documents listed on the “before you apply” page along with a completed Additional Information Form.
- Email your UWL applicant ID number to [email protected] after submitting the form.
- Prepare visa application documents. If a visa is required, be ready to make an upfront payment toward tuition fees and provide financial evidence in line with UKVI requirements, plus a TB certificate where required. UWL reviews these documents as part of the CAS request process.
- Follow next steps after receiving an offer, as detailed in the “your offer and next steps” section on the “after you apply” page.

A UK domestic hotline (0800 036 8888, option 2) is also listed. Opening hours are published on the Clearing Contact page. UWL also promotes summer open days and a Clearing webinar for prospective students who want to learn more before applying.
