Durham University · Pathways
Product managers who need real analytics. Security engineers who answer to a board. Finance leaders who own the transition plan. Durham University dual-specialisation master's give you a shared core, then two named pathways, then a capstone that forces the two together — so your CV reads credibly in both fields.
