Durham Postgraduate Applicants entry 2014
Following on from last year with a separate thread for postgraduates, who else is applying to Durham for next years Postgraduate entry?
I'm considering applying to the MA Early Modern History or the MA Social and Economic History (Research Methods). I haven't yet decided, but I'm leaning towards the research MA.
Would be nice to see how the application process goes for others, and, I do wish everyone the best of luck. May we all (hopefully) be accepted to our chosen course

I applied for LLM and got an email that they recommended my application to the college for their consideration... Have no idea what that means really... Can anyone explain the college system to me please?

It means your application might me considered for them to make an offer.
I applied for the MSc Medical Anthropology the other day
I'm a current undergrad at Durham though so in some ways I would quite like the change of scenery somewhere else, but it's a great course and department so thought I should apply anyway.

I got an offer today for a PhD! Yay! However, there is no news about funding. Does anyone know if Durham has a decent amount of funding? Or is it likely that I will get nothing?
Depends on where you are from. I am an international student and we are being offered just have departmental bursaries for English Studies master's. UK/EU applicants have more options though.

I'm from the US, so that doesn't bode well for me.

Hi everybody!
I'm going to apply for an MA in Translation Studies at Durham.
I've got various other options, of course, but Durham is my most favourite. Perhaps, I'm being a bit too ambitious, but dreaming is never a bad thing. :-)
I'm having a little bit of a hard time trying to figure out how the college system works and which college is best for my subject and needs. Before starting hte application procedure, I actually had never taken colleges into consideration.

Hey,
You don't have to worry about the college system just yet. First, submit your application to the University - they will forward it to your prospective department for consideration. If you are accepted, then the university will send you an application to the college of your choice. Additionally, you are guaranteed a spot at a college, as all enrolled students at Durham must consecutively be enrolled at one of their colleges.
Some of the colleges are more traditional than others. I'm assuming as a postgraduate that if you do not state a preference, they will lump you into the large postgraduate college, Ustinov. From what I gather, it's not as traditional and structured like the more traditional, gown at dinner colleges (University, St. John's, St. Mary's, St. Chad's, Hatfield .
I hope this helps a bit!
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Actually, I worry about this aspect because the application form includes questions about college preference and accommodation. So, I thought this was going to be decided from my answer in the application form.
