Other bursaries and scholarships

Physics students who receive financial support for their living and course costs from the University may also receive a Yates Bursary or a Michael Cross Bursary. These awards, which vary in value, were made possible by generous donations to the University and are intended to ensure that Physics students who experience financial hardship are not disadvantaged or hindered from taking advantage of all the opportunities available to them while reading for their degrees. For further information contact the Student Financial Support office (email financialsupport.undergraduate@durham.ac.uk).

In addition, up to 6 awards are given each year for the Residence Scholarship, and the Vacation Research Scholarship allows undergraduates to gain research experience in the summer vacation by working on a specific project in the department.
