Living on the southern edge of Durham, close to university departments
The building sits on the southern edge of the city. Durham University Business School and the School of Politics are within walking distance to the west. Law, Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Geography are a similar walk away, heading into town down Potters Bank.
A walk over the river leads to the Cathedral, the Castle and University College, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Prince Bishops and Riverwalk shopping centres are also reachable on foot, and Elvet Bridge is home to much of the city’s student nightlife.

Studio living within walking distance of your department
Duresme Court suits students who want their own studio instead of a college room, especially those at the Business School or in the science and engineering departments.
On site, residents share a gym, a cinema lounge, a games area with pool and table football, a study space, a communal lounge and a private dining room. There is also a courtyard, a fitness trail and electric car charging points.
Bookings can be cancelled without penalty if a visa is refused or a university place falls through, which gives international applicants extra security.
