We’ve been glued to our TV screens for the past few weeks as Tokyo 2020 has captured the heart of the nation.

Dr Mark Childs, our Digital Learning Designer in the Durham Centre for Academic Development (DCAD) has been awarded a National Teaching Fellowship.

We've been awarded a grant from the Turing Scheme, the UK government’s programme to study and work abroad.

We’re proud to have one current and seven former students representing their home nations at the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games. We have a rich history of sporting success: since 2013, we’ve been Britain’s Number 1 Team Sport University, supporting over 50 capped internationals per year as well as an ever-growing performance and participation programme.

County Durham has launched its bid to be named UK City of Culture 2025 and we’re very proud to be a principal partner in this exciting initiative.

We are delighted to be able to offer two national Skills Bootcamps, which have been developed by the Department for Education to boost career prospects in the technology sector.
