Transformative education

We deliver exceptional education and thought leadership at every level - from undergraduate studies to PhDs, professional doctorates, and executive education - making us a full-service business school. Our dynamic learning environment fosters bold and creative thinking, equipping students to lead and innovate in fast-evolving global markets.  

Across all levels of study, our students and delegates express satisfaction with the quality of education and support they receive. 

They tell us how empowered and inspired they feel, with their testimonies serving as an endorsement for the quality of the Durham experience. For MBA graduates, this is further  validated by the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings 2025, which ranked our full-time MBA 36th in the world for career progression. 

Our programmes are internationally recognised, with accreditations and partnerships from seven prestigious professional bodies that offer graduate exemptions or added benefits. 

Businesses and students benefit from working with our high-calibre, independent, and globally aware students and graduates across the world, through business projects, internships, placements, or direct recruitment.
