Does Durham University give out offers this early?

I got an offer from Durham on the 20th of November for a BA in Philosophy and Politics. Also, I wanted to know when they start doing college allocations.

congrats ! i’ve seen quite a few contextual students get offers so i’m presuming they’re looking at giving international & contextual first

Hi, huge congratulations on your offer - amazing! The college allocations process won't start until everyone has received an offer. After they have given our offers then they will send out a college preference form and only after results day will your college be completely finalised.

This may not be relevant because I just GRADUATED from Durham but back in 2022 I received my offer in February time so this is insanely quick lol CONGRATS!!! Coming from a Cambridge Master's applicant where I have been ghosted for the better part of nearly 3 months now lol. Hope you love Durham as much as I did!

ohh,, what were your stats may i know? such as you assumptions for ur lnat grade, ur a levels grades and also what ur personal statement was based on, because i have not recieved any law offers until now from durham, and i got rejcted from oxford preinterview, however i did recieve an offer from glasgow 1 week after i submitted my application on october 15th. i am really worried. does me getting rejected from oxford pre interview mean that i wont get offers from durham.

hey i’m predicted A*AA but was given a contextual offer of AAB, i also got 21 LNAT score because i used the jindal method but i think my essay was strong. i also based my personal statement on justice as i linked all my supercurriculars to it.
don’t stress that you’ve havent got an offer yet, durham are known for giving late offers out i seen people last year getting them in march, so really don’t be disheartened! i’m sure you’ll get yours 🙂
