Introduction to Durham University

[Nikos11blou]

For me Durham sucks. I was there last year and by far was the worst choice i take to study in a business school. Business school many times was so un-organized and the teachers are not something specials were most of them are come from china and their english are soooo bad. But i'm only talking about the business school, the environment there is so good,no crime, and in general is student city. For those who want to study in the DBS don't do that mistake,my opinion.

Going to be doing LLB law with foundation there next year.

I do love Durham University. It's sorrounded by the beautiful natural environment that I have been dreamed about. I plan to study abroad in DU taking master progra in there

[xViiision]

[DurhamRebel]

how good of grades must you have to go here?

[Wheretheresgod]

this would be far better without the speed up porno music in the background :) still like it though

[SSerrbody]

im 17 and i would love to go here maybe in a year or so ! im not sure what programs they offer or what kinda of qualifications you need to enroll. i also live in canada so i would have to move to england which i have no problem with ! haha, can anyone help me out here ?

[Jorgensager]

@SSerrbody Hey! This is maybe a little late (but you were gonna apply next year, right? So you still have plenty of time).

You should check out UCAS for info on how to apply to UK unis. You'll need a reference (teacher in relevant subject) and you have to write a personal statement (basically you should only apply for things you really like doing, because Uni can be a lot of work ;) ). Good grades also help a lot ;)

Good luck! (and try to apply before Jan 15 for a better chance)

[SSerrbody]

@Jorgensager okay thanks alot :) !

[stupiddog528]

@SSerrbody Moving from abroad is fine. No problem. They welcome International Students :D

There are lots of course from criminology to biology, but mostly the more academic studies such as English Language, Law etc. go onto their website.

I love Durham. I am currently a fresher here and iti s the best decision i ever made.

Hope you get in xx

[SSerrbody]

@stupiddog528 thanks alot ! :)

[ThomasJKH]

Fingers crossed I get in here for 2011

[maddieee93]

prison visiting!

man i've always wanted to do that

[acalow1989]

@leshtey see their course requirements? Also it will depend on the subject, science isn't normally as competitive x

[jonnybravo8]

Are they good in track and field? (400m/800m)

anybody know a liste where I can see what universities are best in track and field?

[mmyyppaarrttyy]

Edinburgh is my first choice, but then Durham is a close second...

[ForwardN2Unknown]

Welcome Freshers!

[trivialstory]

[cardethebest]

[Hal0dude46]

I logged on to the Durham site I found it very promising as long as I have my friends and a few of my cousins that are my age with me there I do have plans to go to Durham when I graduate school.

[hulala86]

Durham, York, Edinburgh......

Which university i should go....

[ForwardN2Unknown]

It depends on what you study! Durham and Edinburgh have very good reputations, but York is not bad either. I go to Durham and I like it very much.

[christie118]

@ForwardN2Unknown

I am going to study MA in Eng Lit in UK this year. Any idea whether York or Durham is better?

[eaziepeazie]
