Undergraduate Study

At Durham University, we consider Engineering as an integrated subject rather than sub-dividing the discipline into narrow areas.

As a result, our courses produce modern engineers who are capable of solving problems across the traditional engineering boundaries. This gives students a huge amount of flexibility and choice through their undergraduate degree.

Studying Engineering at Durham University was the best choice I ever made. Even though sometimes the course was demanding, the experience of being at Durham has been amazing. By having a course that is general for the first two years, it really helped me to understand exactly what I wanted to do. I know that my time at Durham has fully prepared me for whatever the future may hold in my engineering career.

Scholarships and Bursaries

University offers a number of scholarships and bursaries. Details can be found here.

We especially offer scholarships to international applicants from six countries; details can be found here. For international applicants from other countries, a list of other scholarships can be found here.

Colleges may also offer bursaries, e.g. Trevelyan College offers Ian Cooper Bursary for home students from lower-middle income households to pursue academic excellence in a subject within the Faculty of Science.

Transitioning To Higher Education Support & Information

Coming to university to study at any level can feel overwhelming. At Durham we want to help provide the most relevant information and support to make this transition easier for you. We have created links to information and guidance to help think about all aspects of university life including how to manage your own wellbeing during this period.
