Change your plan

Plan B(radford)

If things don’t go quite as planned with your results, or if you change your mind about where or what you’d like to study, there are other options available to you.

Search our courses and apply

Find a course you'll love. You can apply online or by calling our Clearing helpline.

Our Clearing team are also here to help with any information or support you need. The line is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 - 17:00 (BST).

Swapping to Bradford from another university

If you’re holding an unconditional firm offer for a different university, it’s not too late to swap to the University of Bradford. Search our website for available courses, and then apply online or give our Clearing team a call.

If you’re offered a place, visit your UCAS Hub to release yourself into Clearing, and add the course you have been offered as your Clearing choice.

Swapping your course choice at Bradford

If you already hold a place on a course at Bradford and would like to swap to a different course at the University, call our Clearing team to discuss your options.

If you are offered a place on a different course, you’ll need to decline your existing offer on UCAS Hub and add your new course as your Clearing choice.

Alternative course offer

We might offer you a place on an alternative course if you don't get the grades required for your original offer. The alternative course usually allows you to explore similar career options and use many of the same skills.

If you've been made an alternative offer, you can accept it in your UCAS Hub, or if you want more information before deciding, you can call our Clearing helpline.

Foundation Year courses

Foundation courses are one-year programmes that give you the knowledge-base and skills needed to progress onto an undergraduate degree. They’re ideal for students who don’t meet the entry requirements for degree-level study.

Once you successfully complete your foundation course, you’ll be able to progress onto one of our undergraduate degree courses.

Reasons to do a Foundation Year

  • you haven’t got the qualifications needed for undergraduate study
  • experience higher level education without committing to a full degree
  • gain confidence and develop your skills
  • get a taster of a subject you are interested in studying at university
  • head in a new direction by studying something completely new
