Durham Foundation Year 2026

Hi everyone! I’m applying for Economics with Foundation in Durham on Sep 2026. I just want to ask that if anyone applying to foundation year in Durham have heard anything yet? Do I need to do a assessment, interview, or maths test before knowing if I’ve got an offer or not, and what are those steps like? I’m really confused.

I’ve also applied to the foundation year at Durham (but for English rather than Econ). I haven’t heard anything back yet, so we are in the same boat at least.

Hii! I don't know if this is any help but I also applied to the foundation year at Durham for History around early December. I also haven't heard anything so I guess they're responding to the foundation applicants later.

Hi there,

I know it can be unsettling waiting to hear back; Durham offers can take a while to come out from the admissions team, so try not to stress about anything yet.

Offers are typically received by May at the latest, so it's not unusual to be waiting for a response still.

As a previous applicant, I didn't get my offer until the end of March, so I understand the worry. 😊 I don't believe there are any entrance tests you'd have to do ahead of getting an offer: if you want to discuss this more thoroughly with the admissions team, you can do so by contacting them here (https://www.durham.ac.uk/study/ask-us/uk-students/). They'll be able to answer any questions you might have about the process.

In the meantime, if you have any questions about studying at Durham, just let me know!
