From clubs and societies to mentoring and community service programmes, from leadership development opportunities and robust student support to sports competition and fine arts performance, all University College students (livers in and livers out) participate in the ongoing cultivation of our open, respectful and enriching community of scholars.

Inhabiting a living museum, an 11th century Norman castle provides a compelling backdrop for student involvement and study, yet it is our people who make University College flourish!  Supporting our students is a dedicated team and, just as in the more modern Durham University colleges, students have access to a range of facilities to support learning and the wider student experience: College library, gyms, laundry facilities, kitchenettes, study spaces, practice rooms, and more.  Together, Castle students and staff care for our cherished facilities to ensure they are accessible to students and guests of the future.
