About Us

The Foundation Centre delivers courses at Durham City and Queen's Campus that help students to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for successful study in UK higher education.

Direct Progression Programmes are fully integrated with Durham University degree programmes, counting as year 0 of an undergraduate degree course. After successful completion of the Foundation year, students move directly onto the first year of their degree, without further UCAS application. Direct Progression Programmes are open to UK and international students and are available for the majority of Durham University degree subjects.

The Foundation Centre also offers other academic opportunities to widen students' knowledge in medicine and provide a taster for all programmes offered through the Centre.
