It's thanks to this university for opening my eyes to all the opportunities that are around.

Jared

Biomedical Science student

I applied through clearing because I made a late decision about whether I wanted to go to university. The clearing experience was fantastic; I spoke with a helpful student ambassador who guided me through it. I received a call and an email confirming my enrolment in Esports. Initially, the course I chose was great, but as time went on, I realised it wasn't the right fit for me. This year, I made the switch to Creative Media Production, and the experience has been incredible. One of my proudest achievements so far has been becoming a committee member for both the LGBTQ network and the Myth Society. I really wanted to make a positive impact and contribute to the experiences of the members in each group.

BA (Hons) Creative Media Productions

My Clearing experience was really demoralising on results day because I didn’t get the grades I needed. I nearly gave up! Then I plucked up the courage and spoke to the University of Staffordshire Clearing hotline; they were so warm, friendly and reassuring. I am SO glad I rang and didn’t let others cloud my judgement. I graduated in BA (Hons) Business Management and I am now doing my doctorate.
