The question basically says it all here. I want to study music at a university in the UK, so can any of you who are from this country recommend any? Just so this isn't out of context, I do play the clarinet!

Ask Tony Pay about schools: tony@stsm.demon.co.uk . I can't think of many people more qualified than he to give advice on schools & clarinet playing in the UK :^)

Here's a chance for some honest bias to creep in. My old university has a good music department (although i read history there several years ago), and I cannot comment on its current credentials concerning the clarinet. It's Sheffield University, and unless it has changed has quite a bias in favour of performance or composition. The serious point is to find out the performance/theory balance. Oxford is great, of course, but do check out whether it appeals more to egg heads than to performers, or you may have too much of the wrong sort of good experience.
Colin Lawson is a professor in London University, at Goldsmiths College, so if you want to come to "the smoke" that's a serious possible contender, and performance biased as well, I think.
Good Luck, and do lots of research.

If you're into windband music in any way go for the Royal Northern College in Manchester.

I have a lot of friends that are doing/ want to do music. People seem to agree that if you can get in Royal Northern, Royal Academy or Royal College of Music are definitely the best places to go but you have to be amazing (not in any way inferring you're not- just don't know you). I have a friend who's Grade 8 Distinction Flute, Sax and Piano and also plays clarinet and oboe who didn't get into Royal Northern. Someone from my school is doing Music at Huddersfield which has the biggest music department in the Country. My friend's teacher told her that if she couldn't make a music college to try and go near one so she could still get involved. I think it's really a matter of course preference and whether you like the type of people that go there too though. btw. Emma Johnson went to Pembroke College Cambridge.
