I can't advice people to choose this uni or not but I personally like it very much. It is not that hard if you study as they ask you to do, and the campuses are ok. The schedulle is also flexible.
I study here because it makes me proud. It is a TOP uni and makes me feel like an elitte. The environment is also very welcoming and charming and for people who search for jobs in their future careers a degree from this uni would help surely a lot.
When I started to look for a place to study that would prepare me to reach my future and professional goals, one of the most important criteria for me was an international university. So for me Durham University is the best!
The city is good and the people are beautiful. If you don't know english you can learn it for free from University.They help international students much.Beautiful campus, love it!
It is a very good experience to study here. The student life is very good also. At Durham there are a lot of nationalities which helped me find a friend group easily amongst asian people. The city is also very cosmopolitan and it has got a historical feel.
I am very thankful to myself I chose this university I really enjoy this. I can make a lot of friends and even if study hard I pass exams easily
I like Durham because it has a lot of nationalities here:indian , germans, chinese,etc. When I first came here it was very easy to make friends because everyone I met were freshers and of different nationalities. It is a multinational university.
I love Durham Uni because it makes me feel safe for my career and study. It is very professional and also the level of study is high so it makes me feel like I gather a lot of useful information during my study years. In a word, it is the right place to study
Durham University is a good university for those who wish to experience academic life to the full. The lecturers are really approachable also and everything has been a tremendous experience for me.
Working alongside students from other programs is very interesting, as you have to learn how to get along with different types of people. It's super interesting to notice how depending on the bachelor you are studying you have different perceptions about life or any specific project.
Uni facilities not that good we haven't got a swimming pool.The city is pretty small but the college system is REALLY GOOD. The Union is not very good, but I think is getting better ^.^
Overall good experience at uni. Community feelings. Good for this level; extra-curicular activities. Workshops more than we thought and manageable deadlines. Durham uni is also very cosmopolitan which it feels great
Durham University is places in the middle of the historical city, having many international and domestic students, many cultures and stories. For people who love History it is a great place to study. My experience here was good so far
The University of Durham it is quiet nice but they have to improve a lot the sport facilities and other minor things. In rest, it is okay as an overview. And the eyecandy is okay
My advice: study hard and never let everything until the deadline as you will be struggling a lot to finish your work and it will be a waste of time and very stressful. From my experience I can tell that this uni has good expectations from students and the exams are really hard. Be sure you come prepared
Durham University is top 100 in the world and its reputation got me here. I love the people around the uni and halls and also the tutors are amazing. They always support and help everyone. The University has got competitive staff also.
Durham Uni is a really international Uni, it’s a great thing, there’s no environment where you can get to know so many cultures and points of views. I think it’s one of the top 3 strengths of this University.
What I love about this university is that it has its own way to teach students combining modern and ancient times. A lot of power-point presentations and workshops as well as a lot of help from our tutors. I can't say nothing bad about my uni.
Happy with the 'small city' university. University facilities are excellent to me including accommodation. I adore living here and the city has an historical air so it feels really like a movie scene.


Durham is a very nice city. The university has got very ambitious staff and students. The students' socities and very organised and motivated which is very great. Durham Uni is well known for its reputation so a CV which has a degree from here is very helpful
