Do Durham have a cut of point for the UKCAT?


Yes, changing year on year, exactly the same as Newcastle's cut off point.

530, probably not. On my year of application it was 675, then dropped to 667.5 for the end of the application cycle. I'd advise you to think about whether it's a smart choice to apply if you have <650.

530, definitely not.

Yeah it all seems a bit confusing at the moment! I can't seem to access the online college accommodation agreement contract thing either :/ on the AES (Stephenson) I'll be giving them an email tomorrow, I think.
'You may have received an e-mail in the last few days giving you instructions about registering with Newcastle University. This e-mail was sent in error, as you will be studying with Durham University for the first 2 years of your programme you only need to register with Durham at this time. If you have registered with Newcastle, don’t worry, we will amend your record and you do not need to do anything else.' I got this from Newcastle last week, which sounds to me as if we only have to enrol with Durham at the moment(?)
Have you got your College Welcome Pack yet? :smile:
Hope everything gets sorted!

How strange about the error..ah well, I emailed NCL asking if I needed an NCL smart card, and they said no, but nothing about not needing to register at all...and no Welcome Pack, no accommodation contract, nothing! Stressing out!! I'm going abroad for a week as well, so I have even less time to sort accomodation and everything. I have ordered my gown though :biggrin:

Hi goldilocksa, I'm in Stephenson too and was just wondering if you had managed to access the AES/accommodation agreement yet? It isn't working for me anyway :confused:
