Our 16 distinctive colleges, ancient and modern, are residential communities of
scholars - undergraduates, postgraduates and staff - which instil in our
students a sense of community, leadership, social responsibility and the
opportunity to explore their passion to make a difference in whatever sphere of
life they choose.
At Durham , our students have direct access to
some of the world’s finest academic minds – they learn how to learn and become
self-starting, able to turn their hand to anything and make a difference in
whatever field of endeavour they choose. Students are taught by leaders in
their fields – people who themselves are making a difference through their
research and teaching.
Whilst academic excellence is important, we recognise that academic success is
only half the story – we encourage personal development and skills through
participation in the widest variety of extracurricular activities. It is no
surprise that our students are sought widely by employers and make their mark
at national and international levels.
Nonetheless, we work hard to ensure that those students who will most benefit
from the type of high quality education we offer can come to Durham .
Our undergraduate teaching combines traditional methods, such as personal
tutorials, with the most advanced digital approaches. For example, we lead the UK ’s only Centre for
Excellence in Teaching and Learning for Active Learning in Computing. We seek
to encourage student engagement where knowledge is obtained by sharing,
problem-solving and creating. We generate innovative tools to support active
learning techniques, revolutionising the learning environment to enable
students to control the pace and style of their learning as well as to
significantly enhance their employability.
