Postgraduate Open Day - Wednesday 29 November
Attend our In-person Open Day, your way! Our Open Day is a great way to see Durham and experience the university first hand. We'll have a range of activities throughout the day, so you can tailor the Open Day to your schedule.
When I applied to study at Durham University, I was certainly not expecting so many favourable aspects that have made my time here very enjoyable. The lectures are of very high quality, and given by experts in each subject. Assignments are at times demanding but also very rewarding, since I have been able to use new software and solve real-life problems in the field of renewable energy generation and integration.
