Experience World-Class Education at Durham University - Study Group

Durham University - Study Group is one of the top universities in the UK, known for its academic excellence and cutting-edge research in both mathematics and psychology. The university offers state-of-the-art facilities, including modern lecture theaters, computer labs, and specialized equipment for psychological research. Additionally, the university's location in Durham provides easy access to a range of cultural and recreational activities, offering students a well-rounded education experience.

The degrees in Natural Sciences are designed to feature fewer formal sessions and more independent research as students move from their first to their final year. Small-group teaching and one-to-one attention from the personal academic advisor (provided for all students when they enter the course) are part of the learning experience throughout, but by the final year classroom time gives way, to some extent, to independent research, including a major project. In this way, the degree systematically transforms the student from a consumer of knowledge in the classroom to a generator of knowledge, ready for professional or postgraduate life. These formal teaching arrangements are supported by €œdrop-in€ surgeries with teaching staff and induction sessions that begin the week before the start of the program and continue at key times throughout each year of the degree. Students can also attend an extensive programme of research-focused seminars where staff and visiting scholars in various academic departments present their cutting-edge research.

All applicants taking A levels will need three A levels with at least one Science (Biology; Human Biology; Chemistry; Mathematics; Physics.) The standard offer is A*AA
