I am very happy I applied through Clearing as I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my dream of going to university and getting my dream degree without it.
Naomi , BSc Nursing - Mental Health
The RGU Admissions Team were very understanding. They really want what’s best for the university but also what’s best for us students. I felt heard and that’s very important for a student in that situation between school and university.
Ana Carvalho Barbosa , BA (Hons) Journalism
Throughout the chaos, the staff at RGU have been absolutely amazing, so helpful, encouraging and kind. She accepted an offer to study at RGU and I couldn’t be happier.
