Durham CHSS 2025 offer holders

Hi everyone! I just wanted to start a thread for any CHSS offer holders!
I’ll begin by introducing myself, I chose politics, IR, Russian and anthropology. I’ve also applied to Cambridge (interview, waiting on decision), st A (waiting), Warwick (offer), and Southampton (offer), all for IR and at some social anthropology. Cambridge was HSPS.
I do A level French, bio, history, and geography
Let me know what subjects you do and what you picked!

Hello!! I chose politics, sociology and anthropology. I’ve already received offers back from all the unis I’ve applied to (mostly for politics and sociology joint honours). I’ve put Durham as my firm choice and Exeter as my backup. I’m currently studying politics, sociology and psychology, and I’m from South Wales :smile:

Not yet but I’m thinking of putting Trevs first, I want to wait until I’ve gone to the post-offer open day to rank all of them though. How about you?

I’ve ranked them already as I can’t go to post-offer days. I had south and John snow as my top two since modern buildings is important to me, but trevs was pretty high up too!

Hi, I don’t really know those others I’m afraid. What helped me pick was comparing the actual course content, + locations!

Hi! I chose Politics, French, Economics, and International Relations and my A-Levels are Politics, French, Economics and Maths. I'm torn between firming this and European Social and Political Studies at UCL, but I really liked the colleges at Durham when I visited last Wednesday. I haven't ranked the colleges yet, but my top five are probably Castle, Stephenson, Trevelyan, South, and Van Mildert.
