It’s not too late to apply to study at ICMP through UCAS.
You can still apply through the UCAS system, but applications received after 5th July will be automatically entered into Clearing.
Clearing is for you if you've held off applying, your results haven't been what you expected or you didn't receive offers from your preferred universities.
Make your future at ICMP, a university that supports your ambitions and aspirations with world-class facilities, innovative programmes of study, and a vibrant student experience in London.
Clearing Open Days
Fri 16th and Mon 19th August
Come and see for yourself why hundreds of students choose ICMP as the starting point for their music careers. Meet our team and current students, tour our buildings and have all of your questions answered.
What is Clearing?
Clearing helps UK undergraduate students, who have not yet confirmed a university place, to find a suitable course.
Every UK university will be running some kind of Clearing service.
UK students applying to study through UCAS may go through Clearing if their results are different from their predicted grades, they've changed their minds since making their initial choices or they've started their UCAS application after 5th July 2024.
Clearing sounds complicated but in reality it is three simple stages:
- Researching courses.
- Contacting universities.
- Auditioning for a place
- Confirming your offer on UCAS Track.
Clearing is particularly relevant to students who don’t achieve the grades they need for their initial UCAS choices. This is typically learned on A-Level Results Day, Thurs 15th August 2024. It means any remaining places will fill up quickly from this date.
After Clearing opens, it's a good idea to start contacting universities as soon as you have your results.

Ask Questions
When you contact universities about clearing places, it's important not to feel panicked or rushed into making decisions.
This is your opportunity to ask questions and make sure the choice is right for you and your career aspirations. Some questions to consider when studying music would be:
- How big are the class sizes?
- What access to practice/rehearsal facilities will I have access too?
- How will I be supported academically and if I were to have any personal issues?
- How will my music career goals be supported?
- How does the audition process work?
Auditions
We advise you to be wary of any schools offering places without auditioning students. Auditions are a crucial part of the application process to ensure you are guided to the right course of studies. But most importantly for you, they provide the opportunity for you to meet the tutors, get feedback on your playing, discuss your goals and ask any further questions.
ICMP auditions take place in a relaxed and supportive environment, so are nothing to be feared. Our friendly Admissions Team are on hand to guide you and help you prepare to ace your audition!
Don't be daunted by the Clearing process. If you've found a course you'd like to study, the next step is to have a chat with our Admissions team. They're here to guide you through every step of the process and also available to help you make the right choice if you're struggling to choose between courses.
