Two pathways — one UK seat

Durham University on durhac.uk was founded in 1832. The public address is the Palatine Centre, Stockton Road, Durham DH1 3LE, United Kingdom. Ireland pages describe applicants in Dublin, Cork, and Galway, not a branch campus.

Online degrees are tuition-free UK awards. You enrol, submit work, and sit assessments without a UK student visa. Residential colleges (University College in the Castle, Hatfield, St Mary’s and the rest of the published 17) are a paid living-and-teaching pathway in Durham. Do not mix the two in a visa file.

Irish residents can complete a UK award online from Ireland. This is not an Irish NFQ college. Campus visits, if wanted, are in Durham DH1.

Time zone: Irish time. Seminars may follow UK clocks; recordings are provided. Recognition by a professional body in Ireland is local — we publish verification for employers, not automatic licence to practise.

Application fee US$30, refunded in full if you are not accepted. We do not put “3rd oldest university in England” or Russell Group into this title to impersonate durham.ac.uk.
