Durham University

Durham University is distinctive - a residential collegiate university with long traditions and modern values. We seek the highest distinction in research and scholarship and are committed to excellence in all aspects of education and transmission of knowledge. Our research and scholarship affect every continent.

A quaint and quintessential city with a lot of character and old world charm but with a lot of modern vibe brought in by the global student community! The Cathedral is divine, the cobbles streets and walk around town and university brilliant! Great dining options and bars to hang out in! My favourite was Expresso Martini @Revolution Bar, Bloody Mary@Tango and Thai meal @Thai River

This is a Cathedral during the Lumiere last year in November. Quite amazing events with a lot of beautiful artworks from lights.

Fantastic day supporting and celebrating working people at Durham Miners' Gala. Fantastic parade which took two hours to pass through the narrow cobbled streets. Wonderful musicianship of the many bands. What a festival!

Visit was to Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral in the grounds all owned by the University. Beautiful Cathedral and climbed the 325 steps up the Tower and that is well worth it for the view at the top. After an enjoyable walk along the River again a lot owned by the University.

Top University! Highly respected. Great atmosphere. Just dropped my son off there this weekend. Lovely town, really enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful university and city.

I was working there but the settings and site staff seem second to none, its as though the campuses are set in the middle of a nature reserve, very quaint little roads and the settings of a stately home.
