APPLYING IN 2025?
We would be delighted to hear from students who may be interested in joining DURFC. We can provide 1-1 meetings (Zoom / Telephone) regarding the rugby programme and personalised visits and scholarship advice.
Here it is worth noting that we have monitoring systems in place which enable us to support UCAS applications from top class rugby players who also meet the demanding entry requirements of the University – so the earlier we know of a student's interest the earlier we can help them
