Introduction to Durham

Welcome to Durham! Find out about events and activities for international students in the city. For more information, contact Andrew and Stephanie Trigger, who coordinate many of the events.

Durham in North-East England is a small city with a long history. Every year people come from around the world to visit the great cathedral which has stood for 900 years on a hill by the River Wear. The cathedral and the nearby castle have together been designated a World Heritage Site because of the historical importance of these buildings. Many people also come to study and do research at the university which has been part of the life of the city for many years. Others come to study at New College Durham which is a College of Further and Higher Education.
