Durham University

Overview:

There are many things that make Durham different. Our locations, distinct college system and opportunities for personal development are just some of the unique features you'll find here. However, there are many more benefits to studying with us.

At Durham we expect academic excellence but recognize that academic success is only half the story - we encourage personal development and skills through participation in the widest variety of extra-curricular activities.

Our students are dedicated to creating an environment in which they can explore and grow as people whilst sharing experiences far beyond the walls of the lecture theatres. There are endless opportunities for mixing with different people, learning and developing skills and simply trying something new. We aim to equip you with a variety of skills - critical thinking, entrepreneurship, leadership, flexibility - which will enable you to excel at whatever you decide to do in the future.

There are a wide range of extra-curricular activities to get involved with, either through your college or through the Students' Union. Whether you want to volunteer for charity work, stage a play, sing in a choir, or captain a college sports team, you will find many opportunities for joining in.

The range of extra-curricular opportunities available will ensure you take everything you can from your experience with us and develop skills which will take you through your studies and beyond. By trying out new activities you may find you develop a passion for something you had never even considered before.
