Ask any Durham student about University life and it's likely they'll mention that one of the best aspects of studying here is our collegiate system. One of Durham's 'Hill Colleges', St Mary's occupies imposing neo-classical buildings with a wonderful view of the city and its Cathedral.
Originally founded in the 19th century, St Mary's retains the traditions of a long-established College in supporting and nurturing academic excellence, whilst also encouraging students to take advantage of the many opportunities available to participate in music, art, drama, sport and community projects. You'll find a wide range of extra-curricular activities to become involved in College life, including University societies.
The College is one big family. Everyone is friendly and welcoming
All the staff at St Mary's across the various teams - Operations, Catering, Admissions, Administration and Welfare - are dedicated to supporting your studies, your interests and your wellbeing, ensuring that your time here is happy and productive. We hope to welcome you to St Mary's.Maggi DawnPrincipal
