VIP Live Event

VIP Event Exclusive for National Clearing Survey Partners & Champions

Since 2013, the National Clearing Survey has been the only way for universities to objectively understand the motivations and behaviours of students who apply directly and through Clearing. 

Last year we surveyed over 5,300 students and analysed over 500,000 data points, which participants access through personalised interactive dashboards. This year is our most comprehensive yet and we have already received insight from over 1,000 student surveys. 

“Each year we take part in the National Clearing Survey and use the insight to inform our recruitment, messaging and targeting strategies in this increasingly competitive Clearing environment.”

Early findings highlight a decline in parental influence, alongside significant growth in reliance on LLMs, including ChatGPT. 

We will reveal whether this reflects a broader trend as well as further insights into students’ motivations, choices, emotions, interactions, media habits and influences at our exclusive VIP Partner & Champions event at The Guardian on 4th December. 

Our 2025 Partners Include:
