Durham University

Founded in 1832, Durham is the third oldest university in England and one of the UK’s most prestigious. Based around a 10th century cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage site, we may be traditional in stature but Durham has always been an innovative, forward-looking university. It is a truly magical place to live and study, offering students the opportunity to experience the very best of British education and culture. It’s no surprise that we are consistently ranked amongst the top five universities in the UK.
