Welcome to Ustinov College, Durham University’s sole postgraduate-only College, comprising a community of scholars representing over 100 nationalities.
Renamed in 2003 in honour of the actor and writer Sir Peter Ustinov, who was Chancellor of Durham University, Ustinov College was formerly known as the Graduate Society.
Our focus at Ustinov College is to provide a safe, supportive, motivating and enjoyable collegiate environment that nurtures global citizenship and enables its members to grow intellectually and socially. Globally the College is recognised as a friendly and welcoming place that openly celebrates the strength arising from diversity, inter- disciplinarity and collegiality and applauds leadership, creativity, innovation, teamwork and excellence.
At Ustinov I trust you will have a truly unique experience as a ‘Ustinovian’ that will lay the basis for a life-long mutually rewarding relationship with the College, University and the people and communities of the North East of England.
On behalf of all staff at Ustinov I would like to extend a warm and hearty welcome. We look forward to meeting you at one of the many events organised as part of the College’s social and academic calendar.
Professor Glenn McGregor (Principal, Ustinov College)
