2017 Durham University Foundation Year Hopefuls

When I emailed them they said they'll be sending out 'interview dates and materials.' Does anyone have an idea what that second part means? Are they going to have an assessment of any sort for which I might need materials? I have an interview with Sheffield next week and there's going to be an English and Maths assessment for all foundation applicants, but there's no mention of anything similar in the Durham interviews. Also, how often do the give out offers without interviews in the foundation centre?

So good to know that there are plenty of people in the same situation as me!

I'm 23 and heading to Durham straight from full time employment to study Business with foundation. Applied to John Snow and got my offer shortly before Christmas.

Is everyone else at Queens or are there any foundation years been done at Durham?

applied for the same, yet to hear yet. what was your offer if you dont mind me asking?

My offer is unconditional which was a surprise, thought there might be an interview or something!

how long did you wait for response?

It was about 6 weeks I think, agonising wait. When did you apply?

It was about 6 weeks I think, agonising wait. When did you apply?

I applied Mid-November for Economics with Foundation.
Killing me waiting to hear back for an interview mate

Don't think reading the other Durham forums and hearing everyone getting their allocated colleges is really helping haha

Hi all - Has anyone with an offer been allocated a college?

I was told that my foundation year would be in Stockton but I've been put in Butler, which was unexpected. I've emailed the admissions people but in the mean time, has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Stockton? That sounds strange - who told you that? I was allocated to St. Johns today for Politics with Foundation.

Well it was the woman in charge of the admissions to the foundation centre, which was definitely based at Queens campus in Stockton.

If it's changed since November then fair enough, more than happy with that! It's a right sh1thole

What have you applied for exactly?

Business with foundation - when I started my application the colleges you could choose were the 14 city ones, but when I finished it the only two choices were Snow and Stevo, hence my surprise

Hang in there! Are you certain that you'll have to sit through an interview? I didn't have to.

Got my invite today!
Says on the email I have to attend and interview and assessment day.

No actual information on the email as to how to prepare however..

Congratulations on the invite! I wish I had any advice for you regarding the interview and assessment, but alas... Good luck though!
