Bachelor degree at DUR
11 years of school is not enough to get into DUR. Since students study longer in United Kingdom, you must first eliminate the academic difference — study for a year at a university in your home country, or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). Before applying to the university, you need to pass an exam for knowledge of the English language. The university accepts the results of IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. The minimum TOEFL score is 92. The IELTS score is not lower than 5.5. Applicants will need a subject exam — A-Level. Upon admission, an IB diploma is accepted.
Master's degree at DUR
The academic performance of a student in an undergraduate program plays an important role in the selection of candidates. To confirm your level of English, you must pass IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score for admission is 5.5. TOEFL — 92 or higher. DUR provides an opportunity to get a master's degree remotely.
Doctorate degree at DUR
If you decide to pursue a career in science and enroll in a doctoral program, you must pass the language exam — IELTS, PTE, TOEFL or CAE. IELTS — 7 points and above.
DUR campus
The campus of DUR is located in Durham. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. DUR accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.

What to do after graduation
After graduation, you can stay in United Kingdom for another year. You can do this by extending your student visa or applying for a job search visa. Graduates of DUR find jobs without difficulty. One of the reasons is the good reputation of the university among employers, according to the results of the QS ranking. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
