University of Leicester

Yesterday, BBC East Midlands Today visited the University of Leicester to see our Clearing Hub in action, where our brilliant student call handler Olivia Phoenix shared what it's like to support applicants through one of the biggest days of the year (from 01:39).

As Olivia puts it: "Results day can be a very stressful day. It can be a very exciting day. It can be very overwhelming as well."

A huge thank you to Olivia, Professor Linda Ralphs, and everyone who has helped thousands of students take their next step via Clearing so far.
