Does Durham publish an LNAT cut-off?

Who needs the LNAT for Durham?
Durham calls the LNAT an essential requirement before it considers your application. Its current page does not list applicant groups or exemptions for regular 2027 entry. If your route is unusual, check directly with Durham rather than assuming an exemption.
How does Durham use the LNAT essay?
Durham's FAQ says the university refers to your score and essay when considering your application. It does not publish a numerical essay mark, threshold or fixed score-to-essay weighting in the sources checked.
Margin is independent LNAT practice. It cannot predict Durham's decision or reproduce private admissions criteria.
When is Durham's 2027 LNAT deadline?
Official LNAT deadlines say meeting the 13 January 2027 dates guarantees consideration: book before that date, submit UCAS by 6:00pm UK time, and sit the LNAT on or before that date. The 6:00pm UK time applies only to UCAS. Late application deadlines usually apply to international applicants only; check with Durham, as universities may not accept LNAT results taken as late as July.
