How to apply 1. Apply online through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) www.ucas.com You can also apply through Common App if you are applying to only one UK university and are considered an international applicant, not EU or UK. www.commonapp.org You should apply before 15 October for professional courses in medicine. It’s best to apply before the 15 January for all other courses to be in with the best chance of getting a place, although many courses stay open until 30 June for international applicants. www.durham.ac.uk/undergraduate/apply/ucas On the UCAS and Common App applications you will select which course and college you wish to apply for.
2. If your application is successful you will be made an offer of a place and this will be uploaded onto UCAS Track https://track.ucas.com This offer could be conditional or unconditional. Conditional means that the offer depends upon you meeting our entry requirements once you get your school or exam results. An unconditional offer is made when your results are already available and they meet our entry requirements.
3. Once you have decisions back from all of the UK universities that you applied to, you should reply by the deadline showing on your decision on UCAS Track. You can make one Firm (first) and one Insurance choice (this should be your second choice in case you don’t meet the conditions of your Firm choice’s offer). All of your other offers with then be declined. www.ucas.com/ucas/undergraduate/apply-and-track
4. If Durham University is your firm choice, then once we have confirmed your place, you will need to fill in the AS12 form to confirm that you will be taking up your place at Durham. This is very important as it starts the CAS (confirmation of acceptance for studies) process so that you can get your Tier 4 (general) visa. www.durham.ac.uk/undergraduate/study/apply/offer/as12 College Board code: 5488 Durham Castle Courtyard
