GO Study: Full Year Hub

Durham University offers a range of fantastic full-year study opportunities for both undergraduates and postgraduate students. Study abroad allows you to spend part of your degree programme at an institution in a different country. You could spend a year studying at one of our European partner institutions through the European Exchange scheme or outside Europe at one of our Non European Exchange partners.
