It says on the Law PhD page (I think) that you don't get to choose a college. Tbh I'm not *that* fussed, but my undergrad uni and my masters uni didn't have colleges so it's kinda exciting


Well I hope you get assigned a college you love and enjoy your time at Durham :smile:

Thanks :smile: it's looking to be my top choice at the moment but it's really far from home so I am a bit hesitant, and of course depends on funding. But fingers crossed!
GCSEs: 8 x A*, 4 x 1 x B
AS: AAAAA in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths and Further Maths (+ Gen Studs B!)
A2 Predictions: A*A*A*A* in Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths
Course: NatSci (hopefully Chemistry, Physics and Maths combo)
College: Hatfield

Durham tends to leave their offers till quite late (I got mine in March) and applied in September like you. No one in Chemistry gets offer before around March. Not sure about other subjects

Yeah was just saying it is like that for chemistry so may be like that for other subjects at Durham
Who else is applying for English?
I got an A in Geography at AS and my other two A levels are linear but I'm predicted A*AA for psychology geography and biology. Am hoping to study psychology but don't know what college to pick

You could visit, there is a section on the website that lists facts about the college. If you PM me the sort of person you are and what you want out of a college I could recommend one for you to look into
