Come and see what Durham University is all about - we look forward to meeting you!
If you are thinking about applying to Durham University, a great way to explore the wealth of opportunities on offer is to come and visit us. We host a number of campus-wide open days and visit options throughout the year.

Campus Tours are led by our current students. They provide an introduction to the Durham student experience and a brief overview of University facilities. You can find more information and book a place on the dedicated campus tour web page.
Self-Guided Tours
You can explore the University site on your own with the help of our self-guided tour and maps of Durham City:
UCAS Education Conventions
You can meet Durham University representatives at one of the many 2012 UCAS conventions. Our advisors will be available to answer your questions and queries, and provide you with relevant information and guidance on applying to study at Durham University.
Post-application Open Days
Post-application open days offer an interactive study and social experience and provide a realistic insight into life as a Durham University student.
Applicants who are in receipt of an offer will be invited by their college to attend a post-application open day. Letters of invitation will include a link to the online open day guide and booking instructions. Please note: Students holding offers where they have been invited to attend for interview would not usually be asked to attend a post-application open day.
If you have difficulty in accessing the details for post-application open days please contact your college in the first instance who are happy to help. College contact details can be found via the individual college web pages.
For any other enquiries regarding post-application open days please email the Student Recruitment and Admissions Office: student.recruitment@durham.ac.uk
