Can you sit in on lectures for modules you aren’t taking at Durham University?

Doubt it, all those seats would be calculated for those on the courses that require them, no?

This is funny; you're in the exact opposite situation to me - I'm studying Classics, but want to sit in on English lectures and not sure if it's possible where I'm going either! Fingers crossed for both of us...

Hi everyone I’ve been made an offer for English Literature at Durham, and when I was at the open day last year I remember being told that you could sit in on lectures for modules or subjects you hadn’t signed up for/were outside your department. Is this true? A lot of the modules look really interesting but I know you can only take a certain number so I thought it would be cool if it was possible to still learn a bit about these without officially studying them. (If you had time of course.) Specifically is it possible to sit in on lectures for modules in the Classics department if you’re not taking a Classics degree? (Elsewhere I applied for joint English and Classics and I was wondering if it would be possible to continue learning about Classics if I went to Durham.) Thanks

That should be possible. Lecture halls are big enough to accommodate all (and even more) students enrolled on the modules and I've never seen a lecture where all students have showed up. So as long you have the timetable (which you'll need to ask from a friend who's studying the module you're interested in), you should be able to attend the lecture
