LFA Clearing Explained

13 August 2020

Avoid the clearing panic from results day and apply for our 2-year BA (Hons) Filmmaking degree, today!

WHAT IS CLEARING?
Clearing is a UCAS process that runs every year from July until mid-September and it matches applicants to university places that are yet to be filled. It’s available to anyone who has made a UCAS Undergraduate application and doesn’t hold any offers. Additionally if you are yet to complete a UCAS application, you can still apply.

The LFA BA is everything a film student can ask for. The predominantly practical training and assessment with additional film history classes are, to me, the only essential training needed in being a filmmaker. This emphasis on practical training and assessment (with both analog and digital mediums) is what makes LFA’s programme and film school stand out as an excellent and state of the art higher education body.
