Does Durham accept resits?

Does anyone know if Durham accepts resits? I missed my offer from Durham by one grade and I'm thinking of resitting my A levels. Would they give me an offer again next year? Does anyone have any experience with this?

From their own web site, here:

"Would resitting a qualification make my application less competitive?

We will be able to see from your UCAS form that you are re-taking an A Level, but your application won’t be looked at any less favourably because of this.

Your application would be assessed on its own merits in the same way as a student taking their exams for the first time. 

If you have had any mitigating circumstances which led you to retaking your A levels, this can be included in your reference."

Hi since you got an offer last time, what course did you apply for and what were your stats??

Hiya,

Yes Durham does accept resits and to my knowledge, there is no policy against it 🙂 You can have a look at the admissions policy on here Admissions Policy - Durham University
