Direct answer
International students who already hold their results can apply for University of Liverpool Clearing 2026 immediately. The University publishes a dedicated international Clearing course list with indicative A‑level entry requirements (often BBC or above), but subject‑specific criteria may apply and course availability is not guaranteed. You must check the online application form for the most detailed, course‑by‑course entry conditions.
Who can use the international Clearing route
The University of Liverpool runs two separate Clearing lists: one for UK and Republic of Ireland students, and one for international students. If you are assessed as an international fee‑payer, you should use the international Clearing course list. The UK list is not designed for your application.
When international students can apply
The official Clearing 2026 page draws a clear distinction between domestic and international timelines. UK and Republic of Ireland students can start their application from Tuesday 11 August at 3pm and submit it on Thursday 13 August. International students who have their results can apply now.
Indicative entry requirements
The international Clearing page states that if you have taken A levels, you will usually need to achieve BBC or above, with higher entry criteria for some courses. This is an indicative benchmark, not a universal minimum. Some programmes will demand stronger grades, and subject‑specific requirements may apply.
Where to find exact course‑level requirements
The University directs all applicants to its online application form for detailed entry requirements, including subject‑specific conditions. The published course list and information may change, so the application form is the only source that reflects live criteria for each programme.
What the official pages do not confirm
The University cannot guarantee that places are still available on all the courses listed.
How to stay informed before results day
If you are waiting for your results, you can sign up for Clearing updates. The University will send preparation tips so you are ready to act once your grades are confirmed.
