Supported Progression at Durham
The Supported Progression Scheme will give you an insight into what it is like to study
at Durham. The Supported Progression programme aims to support students who are typically underrepresentedin Higher Education and particularly at Durham. As places are limited and highly sought after, we use our eligibility and selection criteria to help us identify those applicants who we feel will benefit the most from the programme.
