Your Clearing Support

Aberystwyth University is committed to supporting our students in every aspect of their student journey including through Clearing.

In addition to providing advice and guidance on a range of issues we also want to support our students through the cost-of-living crisis. Those studying at Aberystwyth from September 2025 will benefit from:

  • Guaranteed accommodation to Clearing applicants as long as they apply for a place in Halls by 1 September 2025.
  • Academic Excellence Award worth £2000 in the first year to those who have excelled in their exams prior to University.
  • Free Sports Centre membership: In addition to guaranteeing accommodation to all first-year students, those choosing to live in University-owned Halls will be able to access all sports facilities for free.
  • A free Railcard for undergraduate 1st year students, making it easier to travel to and from University.

Aberystwyth has been ranked amongst the Top 5 Cheapest Student Cities in the UK for Accommodation by Student Crowd 2025 and is considered an affordable place to live in comparison with many other university towns and cities. Our location between the mountains and the sea also means that our students spend much of their spare time exploring the outdoors.
