University College, Durham University

Known simply as ‘Castle’, University College is the oldest of Durham’s colleges, and is based in Durham Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We are steeped in history, but always look to the future, too. Our motto, Non nobis solum – Not for ourselves alone – captures our ethos. We strive to be a diverse community, and aim to provide a welcoming environment for all. We are a scholarly community, and have a programme of seminars, lectures, and events as part of our Student Development Programme. We are proud of our student-led outreach programme, Castle Community Action, which works closely with the local community. We also actively promote the mental health and wellbeing of all our College members.
