The starting point
W held offers from UCL, Manchester, Edinburgh and others, but Durham’s Business Management degree was his first choice. The published 2026 requirement was AAB at A Level; on results day he received AAC. The question changed from “Will I get an offer?” to “Can I still go where I most want to?”
Our support
We immediately reviewed his offer conditions and deadlines, kept his other options open, and contacted Durham’s admissions office by phone and email. The conversation focused on his overall application, his fit with the course and his clear commitment to enrol.
The next chapter
Durham accepted his AAC grades and confirmed his place on the Business Management programme.
