Be part of a World Class

With 27 departments, we offer postgraduate degrees in the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences.

Study here and you'll not only work with world-class academic staff but you'll also have access to some of the best facilities and study support to ensure you get the most from your postgraduate experience. In the Research Assessment Exercise 2008, the process by which research quality is assessed in UK higher education institutions, Durham was independently assessed as having world-class research in every single area of assessment, with 90% of our research deemed to be of international quality. This means no matter what area of study, in whatever department, you're never far away from a world-leading expert.
