Every undergraduate or graduate at the University of Durham receives access to a world-class assistance program designed to promote their academic development, and the institution also provides incredible facilities. I am convinced it to be the top educational institution in the world.

As a graduate of the MA TESOL program at Durham University, I can confidently say that it has provided me with an exceptional learning experience. The program’s curriculum is well-structured, challenging, and relevant to current language teaching practices. The modules are taught by experienced and knowledgeable tutors who are always willing to provide support and guidance to their students. Additionally, the program encourages collaboration among students, leading to a dynamic and enriching learning environment. The resources available, including the library, online databases, and language labs, are excellent and cater to the needs of students. Overall, the MA TESOL program at Durham University has equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to succeed in the field of language teaching.

Overall I liked Durham university and enjoyed my time there even though half of my degree was completed throughout covid. The best thing about Durham University is they hold many seasonal balls and fun parties at each college, and sports between colleges and other universities were really exciting; so the social life can be colourful and fun. The only downside is the campus location, since each faculty and teaching building is scattered across the city, it makes class shifts quite hasty and tiring.

Teaching quality-wise, anyone interested in arts and humanities subjects should consider applying for Durham, especially for its excellent resources for English studies, Geography, and Anthropology, etc.

Durham University, whilst boasting it’s incredible academic successes, creates an environment of strong community and a real sense of living in a home away from home, mainly due to the impressive collegiate system. English Literature, as well as being one of the leading courses in the country, is a course that allows students to delve into areas they enjoy and takes away any limitations on genre or era with a wide scope of optional modules and a dissertation that gives student complete control over what they research. I’d recommend Durham University to any Literature student looking to deepen their love of literature in an academically thriving environment supported by incredible academics!

I would definitely recommend it, it is a very interesting course and the staff is great, extremely knowledgeable and all so willing to help. I’d definitely recommend using their office hours as this is what I felt like I should have done more. I would have liked a broader course as a lot of the beginning stuff focused on the classics but third-year really let’s you find your own niche and explore what you’re specifically interested in (which for me was gender and modern international texts)

Durham University is one of the best leading universities for English Literature. It was for this reason why I applied. Commonly known as the University for Oxbridge rejects, it is not a bad thing. In terms of location, Durham is far from the South – which is where many students here originate from. The academic side of the Uni is a solid 5/5, the nightlife 3/5. If it weren’t for the collegiate system the Uni would not be as unique and quirky.
