I’m a Durham offer holder – what happens on Results Day?

If you’re holding an offer at Durham and want to know what happens on Results Day, check our dedicated Offer Holder pages for what happens when you get your results.

If you’ve applied to Durham and we haven’t been able to confirm your place on the course you applied for after the publication of results, you may still be considered for a clearing place on another course if you have met our entry requirements. Please check out our UK listings or International listings to see what’s available.

If you haven’t applied to Durham, or perhaps applied to us and declined our offer or your grades are better than you expected and you’re interested in one of our vacancies, we’d love to hear from you.

The best aspect of being a student at Durham is the availability of opportunities. You can be a cutting edge researcher in your chosen field, or an Olympic level athlete in your chosen sport, or both!
