Visit Van Mildert
We hold a number of open days throughout the year, both for students who are considering applying to Van Mildert, and for students who have already been offered a place to study at Durham University.
Pre-application Open Days
You can get a taste of what Durham University and Van Mildert College has to offer by attending one of the pre-application events we run. The University will be offering two pre-application open days in Durham City:
- Monday 27th June 2011
- Saturday 2nd July 2011
These events will provide an opportunity for those interested in Durham University to gain a real insight into the Durham student experience. Departments, colleges and other student support services and facilities will be available for talks, tours and demonstrations. There is also likely to be a limited amount of University managed accommodation available. Places will be limited and therefore pre-booking will be required. For further information please see the University's 'Visit Us' pages.
There will be an opportunity to meet Van Mildert staff on both days, and to view our facilities.
For those who are unable to attend one the open days, the college provides smaller scale opportunities to visit Van Mildert, please see below for further information.
