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.
