Durham University - DUR (reviews)

Durham University is a fantastic institution with a vibrant student life, but the COVID-19 pandemic certainly impacted the overall experience. Despite this, the university did an admirable job in adapting to the circumstances and providing support for students. Ultimately, the student nightlife and overall experience made up for anything lost during covid.

Durham (specifically the law school) is incredibly prestigious and it is as such that I have had so many valuable experiences with those in the legal profession, developing my future career prospects.

Furthermore, the vastness of the campus and its facilities means it is never hard to study.

The only particular drawback is the accommodation. Not only is it expensive, it is not of a very high standard compared to other universities.

Neverthless, I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the university – notably in light of the tight-knit social community it fosters.

Durham University’s LLB – boasting a consistently top 10 UK ranking – provides an immersive and challenging experience to the aspiring lawyer.

With regular small-group teaching from top academics and a plethora of resources, it is everything a student could wish for.

The LLB programme is planned meticulously and support is provided at all opportunities to ensure academic excellence.

Durham University is an institution with a grand history and status, which is felt right from the minute you enter. With it’s long-standing traditions, once you put the gown on during matriculation you feel as if you are welcomed into an extensive canon – of which you can now call your own. I really enjoy that Durham is trying to combat the aspects that may seem outdated too, which makes it remain one of the top universities in the country.

The University of Durham features excellent facilities that have been put up for the students as well as a terrific tutoring program in which any student may join in order to learn. It is, in our views, the global highest university.

When I traveled to London, my host described his impression of Durham as “It’s a city because it has a university and a cathedral, but in Durham has never been proud of its country life

Durham may be a small town, but it’s beautiful all year round.

All the staff and all students were very helpful and welcoming. The happy environment is very approachable and makes you get settled in very quickly. Uniform standards (smart/casual) all stuck to down to respect being given both ways. Didn’t dislike anything apart from repetitive lectures and very short dead lines. The university was very well looked after always clean and presentable.

Durham University has a collegiate university experience, which makes it easy for you to make friends with people from your college. It gives the university a more friendly atmosphere and made me feel more at home when I first moved to Durham. People are really helpful and friendly, and lecturers are very happy to take time to explain things to you when you do not understand them.
