Entrants to Durham have slightly higher grades on entry for this subject according to The Complete University Guide. That could be accounted for if there are fewer places available at Durham than Edinburgh as, overall, Edinburgh is higher for this subject according to world rankings. However, Edinburgh is currently only the 4th highest Scottish university for average entry grades for this subject. Durham is the 3rd highest English university for average entry grades for this subject.
