Me neither! Mine is Nottingham (ABB) and I don't like the course as much so I'll probably end up going through clearing :s-smilie: and thanks! Doing some serious cramming

Mine is Kent (BBB) so whilst hopefully achievable, I'm not keen on the uni itself though the course does interest me!

that was the right answer for subject choice :wink: stehpensons is cool because its really self-contained it has a gym, a rowing club, music room and everyone seemed so friendly on the open day! Its actually my insurance choice but i'm kind of hoping a drop a grade now to get in lol

I'm from leeds, so not far at all. What about you?

Maybe you might enjoy it if you have to go to your insurance? I have read a few stories where people have hated a uni but then ended up loving it. I guess we won't know until we get to uni haha

Wow! As if, so what made you wanna do pharmacy? I'm doing chemistry and biology and I'm carrying forward the other A from another set of a levels :biggrin:
Pharmacy seems like a rewarding job and I miss learning about science if it intresting and wouldn't expect the Chemgod not to be doing chemistry (chemistry is what your referencing there arnt you 🙈? ) I'm guessing your love of Chem must of been the reason you want to do Pharmacy?
Hi, I have an offer for English and History combined course this year and I was just wondering about reading lists. I've already been sent a list for English from my insurance offer, I'd really like to get ahead and start some of the required reading for Durham over the summer but I'm confused as to where to find it. There's a few links on their website but they seem to be for current students. Do I have to wait until I start in October to see what I have to read? And is there a special list for combined honours students so we don't have to tackle the reading list for each subject in its entirety?

does anyone have an idea about how lenient durham are with their offers?
i'm hoping to study philosophy and they wanted AAB from me; i am hopeful that i could possibly get an A* in RS but maths has already gone awfully and i'm not feeling confident anymore and imagine i will get a C.
so it means that my grades could potentially be A*AC with an EPQ on top; does anyone know if they are lenient? thanks!
