That’s the message from the University of Brighton ahead of A-level results day on August 13, as it encourages parents, guardians and supporters to view Clearing as a flexible entry route into higher education rather than a fallback.

Students applying through Clearing at the University of Brighton may be eligible for the Brighton Summer Boost, which provides £1,000 for students living in University of Brighton halls, £500 for students living between 1–15 miles of their main teaching campus, and £700 for students living more than 15 miles away.
