Social Sciences Interdisciplinary Hub

Explore new ideas. Connect across boundaries. Be part of something bigger.
Degrees Beyond Boundaries
At Durham we believe that the most pressing challenges of our time, whether global inequality, climate change, or technological transformation, demand more than a single perspective. That’s why the Interdisciplinary Hub brings together a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes designed to go beyond traditional academic boundaries.
Our programmes are grounded in world-class disciplinary expertise, but they also offer something more: the opportunity to explore complex issues through multiple lenses. By studying across disciplines, you’ll learn to think critically, creatively, and holistically: essential skills for making a real impact in today’s interconnected world.
As part of the Interdisciplinary Hub, you’ll join a vibrant, supportive community. From an active student society to a dedicated peer mentoring scheme and regular academic and social events, we’re here to help you thrive both intellectually and personally throughout your time at Durham.
