can i apply to durham eng lit with soft subjects
stupid question but i've fallen in love with durham and i'd never even think that one day someone like me could ever possibly get a place there, but i do have the grades for it at A*AB (i'm on a contextual offer due to my poor socioeconomic background). with that being said, the B was in literature (5 marks from an A )
the A was in psychology and A* was in sociology. recently i've been reading that psych and socio are typically looked down upon by unis and i feel like durham might reject me because they're not traditionally academic compared to philosophy or history? thank you. i'm well aware this is silly but idk i think it's still worth asking because it does scare me

For their English Literature degree Durham's subject requirements are "English Literature (or the combined English Literature and Language)". Whether your other two subjects were in Maths and Physics, or in Drama and PE - it doesn't matter to them. If it did, they'd provide a list of "preferred" or "recommend" subjects (as universities sometimes do).
Also, Psychology and Sociology are both essay-based subjects, which are more relevant that any of the random example subjects I listed above anyway.
The B in English Lit is might give them pause for thought, but they'll likely factor-in that you're a contextual candidate here.
According to UCAS, 3 in 5 applicants to English Literature at Durham receive an offer. Why shouldn't one of those be you?

I obviously can’t actually speak for the admissions officers but I’m sure that if you successfully emphasise the valuable skills and knowledge you’ve picked up from the ‘soft’ subjects then they’ll see them as just as useful as the more traditional subjects.
