Global Opportunities is the home of Durham's study, work and volunteer abroad options. Each year in October the University runs a Global Opportunities Fair for students to find out more. On the virtual day we run three types of live event.
The sessions are not being recorded, however, we will try to upload any slides to this page after the event for students to revisit.
The 2026 Global Opportunities Fair will take place on the 21 and 22 October. The Fair will include presentations from the Global Opportunities team, international partner universities and professional support staff from relevant departments within Durham.
