  About

Let's Get You There 

New College Durham offers a wide range of apprenticeships and university level programmes to help you achieve your career goals.

As a top performing college in the North East, our achievement rates continue to be above the national rates and are amongst the best in the region.  

If you choose to join NCD's University Centre to study a degree or professional qualification, you will graduate with the skills and experience essential for a successful career in your chosen sector. We have well established links with employers across many industries and business sectors to support your development. You will gain hands-on experience in real-life working environments, using top-class facilities.

With a wide range of university level programmes to choose from, including foundation degrees, honours degrees, masters degrees, higher apprenticeships and professional qualifications, you can study a degree in flexible bite sized chunks to reach your goals.

Get the same degree qualification but with a difference. Many programmes are available full or part-time, with flexible options to fit around work or family commitments. You will also receive outstanding support - with smaller class sizes you will have better access to your tutors for 1-1 support.

Enjoy a coffee break in our on-site Costa or Starbucks, work up a sweat in our campus gym or get your head in the books in the Library. You will also get free car parking on campus!

We want to give you the best chance of achieving your potential so we provide an impressive network of student support services. Personal Learning Coaches (PLCs) and Academic Support Tutors are available to help you to improve your time management, organisation, research, writing and presentation skills. 

A dynamic learning experience 

NCD bridges the gap between further and higher education. Our supportive community culture alongside our breadth and depth of programmes means we have something for everyone.

Find Your New at New College Durham. Take the next step towards a future you are excited about.
