Scroll to see replies

I understand that at Durham there is an international foundation year, run by Study Group only for international students, and the Foundation Programme, run by Durham uni, only for home fee students. The foundation programme has three assessment days 22feb, 7march, 22march. Invites go out 4 weeks in advance. Offers and rejects made by 31march.

so if i have applied to the foundation program and have not been contacted yet it means that i will get rejected ?
do you think an lnat score of 24 will be good enough for an invite to an assessment day for the law with foundation course ?
Not yet. 4 weeks before the last assessment day is 22 feb, so still time. Even then Durham always run later than almost every other uni.

I can’t tell you exactly what LNAT score they want. I believe they use that as one of whole bunch of factors to make a decision. Last year the assessment day had a test, an interview, a task and chances to meet previous students. I understand they use all of that and add it to your ucas application before making a decision. No one element is used alone.

31st March is when you will know for sure. Until then I think you’re in with a Chance.
Can they reject you before then?

Is the foundation Programme mainly for international and mature students?
One specifically for mature students no, there is one for international students(i believe those that aren't eu, you'd have to read yourself.)

Durham foundation programme is for all ages from the uk or eu, from under represented groups in higher education. Durham international Study Centre, run by study group, is for international students.
