Changing my mind about my University course

How to apply through Clearing

Now I've started the course, I'd never look back. It's something that I'm thoroughly enjoying.


After beginning her studies in Paramedic Science at another university, Hollie realised it wasn’t the right path for her.

While exploring alternative options, she discovered the Operating Department Practice (ODP) course and reached out to us directly. Within a day, she was offered an interview and felt instantly supported by our friendly staff.

The whole process was straightforward and reassuring, proving that it’s never too late to change direction and find a course that truly fits.

Her story is a great example of how Clearing can open unexpected and exciting new doors.
