Amazing university. I have particularly benefitted from the 'Durham Difference' - the small group tutorial teaching in groups of up to 6. This makes Durham stand out among other unis, we are truly treated as individuals by tutors rather than cogs in a machine.

I think everyone's experience at Durham can be and is very different based on where they're coming from, what they're studying, what they're expecting, etc. As an international postgrad student, the university itself is great academically, but socially and administratively it's subpar. Its quite a small town with not very much to do - so if you can't find your group, then it can get quite lonely. Accommodation and food are more expensive here too. But it is a lush, pretty town! The cathedral is stunning and the nature is underrated. Overall, a mixed bag.

The web site to book spaces in Billy B/TLC… such as study rooms, PC desk… is really complicated to use. I tried several times and I’m confused. Another thing; I’m at the business school and we didn’t get a ball when every other school had one.

I have really enjoyed all of the opportunities at Durham that are constantly popping up. The student union is lacking but that is mainly because we are a collegiate university. The colleges' provide most things a student union do as well as formals and a strong, supportive, tight-knit community. I have therefore still given the student union section 5 stars.

My experience of Durham has been terrible. I honestly don't know where they get their good reputation from because everyone else I have spoken to on my course seems to be equally dissatisfied. I am a masters student, I've paid £10,500 for my one year course and I genuinely feel that I've received less than £500 worth of tuition. There are a couple of staff members I've encountered who actually seem to care about delivering a high quality experience, but the attitude of most other teaching staff seems to range between contempt and indifference. It is as if the students should be grateful for the opportunity to study at their prestigious university and not expect anything more, My advice for anyone considering Durham for a postgraduate degree would be, don't.

Being an international student, Durham was one of the most welcoming and supportive communities. It is an inclusive, accepting and loving environment where every student is given equal opportunities. There is so much diversity and people from different cultures. It’s a beautiful and historical city with 16 colleges spread all across town. There are so many opportunities and clubs you can get involved with and it’s truly and amazing experience!

My experience of doing a PhD at Durham University has been fantastic, despite the circumstances of it being during a global pandemic, though this is mostly due to the supportiveness of my supervisors and the staff of the History Department.

It’s a very comfortable, nice accommodation. The area is very convenient as there is a large tesco store 1 minute away, and restaurants within a short walking distance. The accommodation is clean, the rooms are large and have many shelves, places to put stuff in. The staff are really nice, helpful and friendly, they’re always trying their best to make the residents feel comfortable during their stay at the accommodation.😊

There's so many opportunities, especially with the collegiate system you'll receive a tonne of emails inviting you to all sorts to get you involved. Even in COVID-19, they were really active in making sure everyone had an opportunity to meet friends and get a similar uni experience despite the difficulties

Durham University is a great place to study and improve the skills. The best thing is that you will find more choices and more opportunities to develop yourself and interact with a large diverse student body. And you will be studying at a top 100 university!!

World class sport facilities, UNESCO world heritage site on campus and a wide range of clubs and societies to cater for any interest. Students Union is less important due to the college system and college JCR’s.

The classes were online the whole year. Unfortunately, due to covid, I did not have the opportunity to go to the university. However, the societies continued their online activities, keeping us informed by email. The university libraries were very clean and the environment was pleasant to work in, with the wifi always working.

I’ve loved my time here as a student. There is so much to do, and a club or society for everyone. There are also phenomenal support systems in place if needed.

I’m in my last year of PhD at Durham and I can say it’s been a weird one, besides Covid and all I think the overall experience was nice. The feeling I have is that everything is quite catered to undergrad students and PhDs are never really taken into consideration, I guess because we’re not many to begin with. The environment is quite stressful and people put a lot of pressure on each other and themselves to show how good a Durham student is supposed to be, but as long as you don’t really pay attention to that it’s fine.

Seeing as I’ve attended in the midst of a pandemic, I don’t have very much to comment on. All I can say is that they seem to have done their best to provide an experience as close to normalcy as it gets. Judging by what I’ve heard, they do seem to have exerted more effort than a lot of other U.K. universities have.

Although I had my postgraduate year under the COVID lockdown and I had to had all my courses online, I still had a great time. Most of my teachers and university staffs are helpful and patient. I did get some help from the uni career service by giving me instructions for volunteering jobs.
