Don’t Panic
Clearing gives you a great opportunity to identify a university that works for you academically and personally. Take a look at what a university can offer you. For example, Surrey is 4th in the UK in the National Student Survey, 13th in the UK in the Complete University Guide AND is the University of the Year for Graduate Employment.
You can hear from one of our final year Media and Communication Students who did a placement: “My favourite thing about my PTY year is the fact that I get to work in the niche I want to one day build a career in – content creation and channel management. I know that all of the work that I have done, all the skills that I have developed during my PTY year, will be a great boost to my CV and portfolio, and a massive head-start to my future career in the Social Media Marketing field!”
