Is my university a European exchange partner university?

Durham is currently linked with European partner/twin universities (including Norway and Switzerland). We have two types of European agreements:

• Departmental. This where an agreement is between one specific academic department in Durham and the same academic department at a European university.
• University-wide. This is where an agreement is for all departments (notwithstanding a few restrictions) across the whole university. 

Please check with your home university to check whether an agreement is in place. A list of our European partnerships can be found here: 'Where in Europe', please be aware that this URL link will navigate you to the outgoing (from Durham) part of the Durham University website.  We are constantly expanding our network of partners.

• supported by an excellent network of welfare services, including a dedicated Global Opportunities Team and a personal College Tutor.
