Global Opportunities is the home of Durham's study, work and volunteer abroad options. Each year in October the University runs a Global Opportunities Fair for students to find out more. On the virtual day we run three types of live event.
The sessions are not being recorded, however, we will try to upload any slides to this page after the event for students to revisit.
The 2025 Global Opportunities Fair will take place on the 22 and 23 October. The Fair will include presentations from the GO team, international partner universities and professional support staff from relevant departments within Durham. Please use the links in the table below to access the sessions which will be added in due course.
