    Thank you! My best friend also applied for English and got one fifteen minutes after me, so don't worry, you're probably getting an offer any moment now

    Haha, nothing yet... I guess they might be giving out offers to good international applicants first, since I know that St. Andrews do that. I'm going to be checking my emails even more vigilantly anyway :ninja:

    I'm also trying to do Philosophy at Durham as an undergraduate. What courses did you take in high school ?
    Quite a few including Philosophy, the requirements I'm assuming would be quite different for you if you're from/in Canada? Mine ranged from Philosophy to Economics.

    But, Philosophy at Durham? One of the best decisions I've made.

    How long did it take from you receiving your letter saying "you are going to get an offer" to UCAS updating? Just wondering how quickly SRAO works

    Student Recruitment and Admissions Office. The chem dept sent me a letter saying I will shortly receive an offer from SRAO (as SRAO send out the offers, based on recommendations by the department). Not sure if all departments will send out a letter like that

    Has anyone heard anything for Law yet? I applied at University College, if college choice makes a difference in when offers are sent out.

    I have an interview for Law at Oxford (Christ Church) next week, so hoping I will receive an offer from Durham!

    Oh, and I sent my Durham application around mid-November.

    Just got an offer from Durham to study H100 general engineering MEng
    Conditions: AAA
    GCSE 8A* 4A
    AS: AAAAB
    A-Level prediction: A*A*A

    I have a question though, it says i've been accepted to study at campus code Z (i applied for collingwood). What is campus code Z as it is not on their website? Does this just mean that i have not been assigned a college yet?

    Campus code Z means you haven't been assigned a college, they should contact you soon (fingers crossed) I got my offer over a month ago but no college has contacted me yet so.. They're probably waiting until all offers have been sorted before they get the campus assigning outta the way?
