Durham in world’s top 100 universities
Durham University has again been ranked as a World Top 100 university. The QS World University Rankings 2021 place Durham 86th globally out of more than 1,000 higher education institutions. We are proud to be ranked in the Top 100 of this prestigious international league table. This achievement is testament to the amazing talent and dedication of our staff and students. Employer reputation We have one of the most active student volunteering communities of any UK university and our Student Volunteering and Outreach (DUSVO) has recently been honoured with The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service , the highest award given for community volunteering in the UK. Life changing research Our researchers are working on projects across the world with many addressing key global challenges. For example, a specialist team of researchers is currently trying to find out if specially-trained bio-detection dogs can sniff out Covid-19 in humans.
