Durham University - DUR
speciality: Economics

Although Durham University has a solid reputation for its academic excellence towards its students and for having the best tutoring system as a whole facilities, and laboratories for the students’ ease of use I must urge you to attend Durham University.

Understanding is made simple for students at Durham University by the welcoming environment, and even more important, by all the facilities that are available. Students find studying right here to be enjoyable as an outcome.

The university’s security has been among the greatest so far, and everyone entry and exit is watched over for the protection of the students. Additionally, the administration has made sure that students follow the regulations.

I appreciate Durham University simply due to what they have provided to aid in achieving academic fulfillment. I must remark that the campus is the prettiest I have ever encountered, radiating an overwhelming feeling of security and warmth.

Studying Economics at Durham University has been eyeopening in many ways. It’s made me more aware of the extremely broad world of Economics giving me exposure to Behavioural, Experimental, Environmental and Financial economics in addition to the mainstream Micro and Macro economics. While the course increases my knowledge in varied fields of economics, I find that the Economics course at Durham lacks real world applicability that will translate to practical roles and responsibilities in the corporate world.

As an international student, I can confidently say that Durham University has an excellent environment for students. This city, including the Uni, provides a comfortable atmosphere to live and to enjoy your uni life. You can never get enough of the stunning countryside view. The professors are kind and always welcome any questions related to the lectures. It’s a dream school that worth spending three years.

The college system is what really makes this university great. It’s perfect for bachelors as it becomes so easy to make friends and living in college is a completely different atmosphere.

Academically the workload is a bit heavy but focused only during exam time, so you can take it easy during the year. Economics did not have a lot of contact hours, around 9 per week including tutorials.

Overall is a very well ranked university and I had a great time, however if you prefer continuous and interactive learning, Durham is not for you.

Amazing university for sports-mainly rugby and rowing. However, there isn’t a Durham University swimming pool and students are made to use the public pool, which could be pricey. Lacked cultural diversity and cliquish students. Good welfare support within college.
