Non-European Incoming Exchange
Durham University has student exchange agreements with selected universities in non-European destinations. Under these agreements we send and receive a number of students for a visiting period of normally one academic year. Most exchanges are set up at undergraduate level, though a few postgraduate opportunities exist. Return to Incoming ExchangeIs my university a non-European Exchange partner university?
Durham is currently linked with non-European partner universities in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, China/Hong Kong, Colombia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and USA. A list can be found below. We are constantly expanding our network of partners. Students from European partners should apply through the European Incoming Exchange Programme. Should your university not have an exchange agreement, you are welcome to apply through the Fee-Paying Study Abroad Programme.
