durham Mphys offers

Hi, has anyone heard from Durham for the Mphys Physics course? I am a home student, non contextual and am worried about having not heard yet as I switched from Bsc to Mphys at the last minute so hoping my application hasn't got messed up...

I’ve applied for the Mphys Physics and Astronomy and haven’t heard anything from Durham. I’ve had offers from all my other choices though.
Durham are late in giving out offers for physics and not everyone would have sent in their application yet so don’t worry. There is still time 😊

Ok that's really helpful to hear, thank you! There's actually a high chance I'll switch to the Physics and Astronomy course too in first year if I get in - it looks so interesting!!

It really does, but the entry requirements are so high. It’s definitely my aspirational choice. Fingers crossed I get an offer and then the grades as I really loved Durham on the Open day.
Good luck to you too 😊

Yeah A*A*A is rough... I loved the open day too, the observatories on the roof were so cool! Good luck with your application 🙂

I’ve heard Durham wait for applications to close before they send out any offers.

Good luck all...waiting to hear too. Physics BSc (but may switch to MPhys if successful). Likely to hear after February I guess

Hi, just wondering whether anyone has heard from Durham for any of the physics courses yet?
I noticed one on a spreadsheet received 31/1. Hopefully soon.
Thanks

Not heard yet. 🤞 everyone

I believe offers have started to go out. Still waiting here.

Does anyone know if they send in batches and so it's still possible to get an offer or they send in bulk and therefore looking unlikely?

Sorry- have no idea how they stagger their offers

Also waiting. From offer spreadsheets I have seen previously, they seem to work through them after the UCAS deadline (first prioritising international and contextual).
Ordinarily I'd say meeting entry requirements with a strong application is enough - however now Durham is just so popular for physics I think the story is very different. I am worried they won't be able to offer to everyone who clearly meets the criteria.

Hope you hear soon. No news is good news. That’s what I’m trying to tell myself.
I fear mine will be a rejection as I don’t have a full set of 8/9’s at GCSE ( those pesky art subjects) even though I have great A level predictions

Good luck. Similar here - mostly 8s and 9s but also 7s and 2x6s but right grades for the important ones too. 3A* predictions in the right Alevels - but I expect not doing 4 may be an issue.

Thank you. You too. I don’t think having 4 A levels will put you at a disadvantage. They offer for 3. My GCSE’s feel similar to yours - 7x9, 2x8 and 3x6. 9’s in the subjects that matter most 🤣

Your GCSEs are excellent. Wish you all the best.
Waiting for the BSc actually (for Durham). Hope you hear very soon.
