Durham University

Durham University is a residentiall collegiate university with long traditions and modern values.

The oldest of the University’s 16 colleges, University College, was founded in 1832 at the same time as the establishment of the University (which is England's third oldest Higher Education Institute after Oxford and Cambridge). The most recent is Josephine Butler College, founded in 2006.

In 1987 Durham Cathedral and Castle became a World Heritage Site, of which the university is a joint guardian.

In 2012 the opera singer, Sir Thomas Allen was appointed as the university's 12th Chancellor.

Awards

A number of awards are handed out annually to our current and past students. The vast majority are awarded at our annual Palatinate Dinner. Durham is lucky to have a number of athetes who compete at the very highest level every year. Similarly, we are just as fortunate to have students who are prepared to commit and give so much of their time to developing the sport structure at Durham. As such, the awards on offer are in place to recognise both.
