The Colleges

College life

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.

The 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. Each college is a small community providing a wide range of activities and facilities for study, sports, the arts, socialising, relaxation and welfare.  Every undergraduate student at the University belongs to a college. They remain a member of their college throughout their time at Durham and beyond.
