From Clearing to Campus: How SUBTV Reaches Students from the Outset
More than 50,000 students secure a university place through Clearing each year (currently underway for 2026), making it one of the most significant moments in the student journey. For brands, universities and student organisations, this marks the start of one of the most influential periods in the student calendar.
The time between Clearing and Freshers' Week are when students begin forming new habits. They're choosing where to shop, which apps to download, what venues to visit and how they'll make the most of university life.
At SUBTV, we're uniquely positioned at the centre of that journey. From Freshers' activities to everyday moments on campus and savings on school essentials, we're part of student life from day one.
Through our nationwide network of campus screens and the SUBTV Perks app, we're present at the places students naturally gather: students' unions, bars, cafés, social spaces and events.
We help students discover music, socialize with peers, shape the atmosphere around them, find new experiences, engage with brands and unlock savings that make student life more affordable.
For brands looking to engage students, timing matters. Reaching students during this transition means connecting with them when they're actively exploring, trying new things and establishing preferences that can last well beyond university. Decisions made now influence everything from daily routines to long-term preferences well beyond their time on campus.
Clearing may determine where students go. What happens next shapes their entire university experience, and we’re proud to be part of the journey.
