Undergrads, alumni and grad students in all fields who may be interested in exploring opportunities to consider graduate degree programs at universities in the UK should plan to join us for:
Graduate Study in the UK
Tuesday, March 26
4:00-5:00pm, MGH 171
Alyce Myers, International Officer for Durham University, will visit UW to talk with students and interested faculty/staff. Alyce will help demystify the differences in the US vs. UK higher education systems, the grad school application process, funding opportunities, and life in the UK. This will be a helpful opportunity regardless of which UK universities you may be interested in, or if you’re just getting started thinking about graduate study options!
Additionally, Alyce will cover Durham-specific programs and requirements for those interested. Durham University is a Russell Group research-intensive University with over 20,000 students with 150 bachelor's and 130 postgraduate programs spread across four faculties (Business School, Arts and Humanities, Science, and Social Sciences and Health) and 27 departments . It offers several funding opportunities:
- both a Fulbright Durham University Award and Durham Marshall Scholarship
- since sport is a large part of Durham's culture, it also offers up to a 40% scholarship for student-athletes pursuing a postgraduate program
- departmental postgraduate scholarships.
