Support

"It’s not one of those huge schools where you are just another person in the crowd, you are definitely an individual." Alexia D-S

The University has exceptional support services.

Meet and greet

Durham prides itself on the level of service and welcome we give to international students. The formal welcome, the opportunity to make new friends from other countries and the welcome/pick-up at the airport and train station are designed to make your transition to studying in another country as easy as possible.

"Arrival, pickup and orientation processes were excellently done."
Open comment, taken from the International Student Barometer (ISB) 2006*
