Second-time applications for History BA

The request was successful.

Dear Durham University,

I would be grateful if you could provide the percentage of applicants who are successful in a second application to the History BA course at Durham, after an unsuccessful attempt in the year previously. This is as opposed to applicants who are unsuccessful for two subsequent years.

The most recent statistics would be preferable, please.

Yours faithfully,

Cecelia Knight
