It depends if you qualify for Durham’s contextual offer (which is BBB for IR) and have a good personal statement (I presume) but it’s possible. Where else did you apply?

The other universities I have applied for are : Lancaster university, Loughborough, University of Liverpool and University of Exeter . Additionally regarding my application in the more about you section, I have a few of the boxes ticked as yes and I was informed that I have a very strong personal statement .

Okay. Have you checked if you qualify for Durham’s contextual? And from what I’ve heard, if you have an A in EPQ, Durham are more lenient (don’t quote me on this however).
