A teacher mentioned at parents’ eve that you could apply for more than one course at Durham (impliedly in the same UCAS round). DD can’t find any mention of this on the website. Did I miss hear or is this a thing? Will email to find out...
At the end of the day, you can put five courses at the same university on yiur UCAS form if you want, but I guess what you mean is, 'Will DD be considered for both (or either), if she applies for two?'. I don't know about Durham, I'm afraid, but I am fairly sure that LSE won't consider an application for more than one course in the same round, so it isn't unknown. On the other hand, LSE has a hissy fit if your PS isn't tailored to the last character to their particular version of the course you are applying for, so it would actually be impossible to apply for e.g. Economic History and History with Economic History (or whatever) anyway.
Are the courses your DD fancies at Durham similar enough to overcome the PS issue?
