Guys, One quick question-- so once you get the offer letter does that mean that your admission is secured?

Hi Crash, thanks a lot.Going to St.Aidan's College, you?
All the lawyers that I am working with in Singapore told me that Durham is a GREAT university, one of the best in UK. Is considered as an alternative to Oxford and Cambridge, so we should consider all of us proud of being part of Durham.
I am very happy. Where are you from?

Grmpff, I did not know this was such a drama for all of us :D

Well, my situation did not change a lot. I did not accept the offer from Durham, because I am still waiting for QMUL (more than UCL).. I am just more anxious about the wait, it's just getting too long. And longer each day ;)

Congrats to Colorado, our winner of the day, who was so enthousiastic about Durham :)

thanks


Curious, isn't it ? :) The reflection is quite simple : QMUL offers a programme a LLM in informations technologies, computer and communications law, while UCL does not. End of the reflection.

In fact, QMUL is, with LSE, one of the very few universities in England with such a specialisation, the other notable one being Edinburgh. All the leaders in the field of internet and IT are in QMUL, for what I've seen.

I do believe that if the programme is not suitable for you and your desires, it just won't make it, whatever the rank of the university.

Hi going to Durham as well.

Still having problems with college accommodations though. It appears they are all full :)

Either Ustinov or St. Chad's got offers from both.

From the Philippines here. (ger_chan@yahoo.com)

First u ask them if wire transfer would be acceptable. If yes get the details. Below is the swift code for payment of tution fees. I think this might be the same. But do recheck with them.


Payment can be made by wire transfer into the University’s bank account:



Durham University, Barclays Bank, 6/7 Market Place, Durham City.
Sort code 20 – 27 – 41

Account number 60897507
Europe IBAN GB46 BARC 2027 4160 8975 07
Worldwide Swift Code BARC GB22
Reference - Please quote the invoice number or the University Student ID number.
