Durham Law with Foundation

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has heard anything from Durham for the Law Foundation? I got an email asking for a written reflection (in addition to a short course on the programme) Anyone heard anything from them? :smile:

honestly exactly the same LOLOL!
i do know that not everyone gets to do the personal reflection ‘why durham’ essay thing we just did as my friend was rejected before that stage (so i think it is some form of short list thing)

but yea literally SO nervous (although i think they’re going to wait till everyone has sent their reflection in before sending offers but obvs idk) ಠ_ಠ

Hello, I know this is really late 😭 but I’ve got an offer from Durham to study law with foundation , however I haven’t done an interview neither have I done an essay. I’m confused because I don’t know if it’s a typical thing for people to receive an offer first and then do the interview or essay, or if I’m just lucky 😭. If you could please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you so much

Hey, I'm in the exact same boat! I think it just means we have to get the required grades and that's it. Consider yourself lucky basically, Durham is sure that they want you for the foundation year! I'm doing law with foundation, is that the same for you??
