Durham University - DUR (reviews)

Plenty of opportunities to get involved with a huge range of societies, sports teams, and leadership roles, alongside a strong academic experience. Departments are high-performing, with lecturers and researchers at the cutting edge of their fields who are genuinely supportive and approachable. The collegiate system also creates a strong sense of community and belonging, making it easy to settle in and build lasting friendships while developing both academically and personally.

Professors are very enthusiastic and always willing to share and teach in different methods encouraging interactive learning and exchange of information. The university life was thrilling and excited, I was always willing to learn and looking forward to each lecture. It built my career, professional life and character.

With an interesting variety of modules, professors/teachers, and assessment style, I felt that Durham truly provided a great base for my course. I was exposed to so many different things, and was able to take modules outside of my course to support my interests. Assessment is carried out in different ways such as essays, translation work, commentaries, reports, presentations, and projects. The professors are friendly and supportive, creating a great atmosphere for learning.

I absolutely loved studying at Durham University, the psychology department offers a wide range of modules and opportunities as well as being taught by lecturers who are leaders in their field. The collegiate system offers you a sense of identity as a student and makes you really feel part of the university.
