Join Durham Economics Communities on WhatsApp and WeChat

To help you find answers to your queries about the academic content of your chosen programme, life in Durham, or anything else you would like to know, we have created two social media groups to streamline our communication with you. 

Feel free to join either or both—whichever works best for you - chat with other offer holders and with members of staff from the Department of Economics, including the Programme team. We look forward to seeing you in these virtual communities!
