A World-Class Education at a Historic University

Durham University - Study Group is one of the most prestigious universities in the UK, with a long history of academic excellence and innovation. The university offers a supportive and stimulating learning environment, with access to world-class faculty and research facilities. Durham is also located in a beautiful and vibrant city, with a rich cultural heritage and plenty of opportunities for entertainment and exploration.

Students on the Natural Sciences course design their own program, so depending on their choices they learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical classes, fieldwork, informal but scheduled one-on-one support, and self-directed learning, such as research, reading, and writing. All of these are supported by a virtual learning environment, Durham University Online (DUO). Tutorials, seminars, workshops, and practical classes are much smaller groups than lectures, small enough to allow one-to-one interaction with a member of staff. Practicals also allow hands-on experience of the work of professionals in the disciplines studied on the course. The same is true of fieldwork and consists of engaging in, for example, geological, biological, geographical, or anthropological work in the field with members of academic staff. This emphasis on small-group and practical teaching reflects a conscious choice to enhance the quality of the learning experience rather than the number of formal sessions.
