Durham University is a globally outstanding centre of teaching and research excellence, with over one third of our students coming from an international background.
We understand that it can be challenging knowing where to start when applying to an overseas University. At Durham there is a wide range of support available to students who live in Latin American & Caribbean and are considering applying to Durham. We have a dedicated team who are on hand to answer any questions you have.
The Latin America and Caribbean student recruitment team are there to help with any aspect of the application process. They would be happy to hear from you to assist with any questions you have.
Meet the team at a recruitment event near you or online and find out more about Durham.
We currently have no events scheduled. Please check back soon.
