Colleges
Durham University is a collegiate university. The colleges are a major part of the Durham University experience and are one of the key reasons our students give for applying.
Ever since Freshers' Week, I have felt like a member of a community.
A life-long community
Durham University’s college system is arguably the most distinctive feature of the University. Colleges are small enough to foster a strong sense of community, whilst still allowing students to enjoy all the academic and other benefits of a large University.
Every student at the University belongs to a college. They remain a member of their college throughout their time at Durham and beyond.
The colleges are not teaching bodies, but they are more than just places to eat and sleep. Instead, each college is a small community providing a wide range of activities and facilities for study, sports, the arts, socialising, relaxation and welfare.
I think the collegiate system is one of the best aspects of the university and have found it very supportive and immense fun.
Conference facilities
During the vacation the colleges become first-class venues for conferences, exhibitions, weddings and other events. For more information contact our Sales Office on 0191 334 2887
