University student
I’m so excited to welcome you to the St John’s College family. During my time here I have learnt how special this place can be and from the moment you arrive on the Bailey, you feel welcomed and excited to be part of this wonderful community. I hope that college forms a fantastic part of your time at Durham. There is so much on offer beyond your degree and so much to experience even just here in John's and I encourage you all to get involved in college life.

Your first week in Durham – University Induction Week Events Timetable

The Timetable has been designed so College events don’t clash with any of your academic departmental events, but offer you lots of opportunities to meet your fellow Freshers, find your way around and settle into student life.

To help you keep track of where you need to be, and what you need to do during your first busy days at university, in your College and your Department, we have created a day-by-day University Induction Planner. This should help you to plan your schedule, so you don't miss anything - from being issued with your Campus Card or meeting the staff in your Department, to trying out for a sports team or joining a student society.
