    Covid-19

We welcome the Government’s guidance on how students at English universities can travel home safely for the winter break.

We’re aware that many of our students will very much want to travel home, while others will choose to, or will need to, remain in Durham. All of our students have our full support.

We will update these webpages with information and guidance on a regular basis to reflect the latest government advice.

Please use the pages below to access the information most relevant to you.
