how long does it take in general for universities to hand out offers?

I applied a week ago today and 4/5 have sent an acknowledgement email. I applied for English Language at Northumbria, Huddersfield, Chester, Sheffield Hallam and York St John - Northumbria are the only one to have not sent an acknowledgement email.

It's really hard to say, my first reply was 4 days and my last was two months. It's dependent on university and the department etc. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long, best of luck :smile:

Some departments may have closed admissions for the christmas holidays, so that may be why you don't have an email from them.

In terms of offers, it can vary greatly. Anywhere from a week to a few months.

My application was sent to my school yesterday at 10am. At 11pm, I could log into Track and all of the applications were sent to universities. By 4pm, I had received 3/5 of my choices from one university.
