As England's third oldest university after Oxford and Cambridge, Durham combines ancient collegiate traditions, UNESCO World Heritage castle architecture, and world-class academic scholarship.
At Durham, every student is a member of one of our 17 historic Colleges—dynamic multi-disciplinary societies where scholars dine together in Great Halls, debate in Senior Common Rooms, and receive intimate tutorial supervisions from senior fellows.
Our four academic faculties (Social Sciences & Law, Science, Arts & Humanities, and Business) produce transformative research recognized across the Russell Group and international academies.
Housed in the 11th-century Norman Castle, founded in 1832 as the mother college of Durham.
Pioneered pioneering communal dining and produced leaders across law, finance, and diplomacy.
A distinguished academic society with strong foundations in sciences and computer systems.
Founded on independence of thought, high-touch tutorial supervisions, and academic excellence.
Direct applications for undergraduate and postgraduate collegiate degrees are reviewed on a rolling basis by the College Admissions Tutors.
