At Trevelyan College, we encourage students to step out of their comfort zone, gain new experiences to become future-ready graduates, and develop new skills for lifelong learning.
Trevelyan College’s Explore Programme provides enrichment and wellbeing activities for current undergraduate and postgraduate students at Trevs. Launched in 2023, the Explore Programme aims to provide our students with opportunities to explore new interests, gain new experiences, and reflect on key graduate attributes. All Explore Programme activities are free and open to all students of Trevelyan College. Our activities are designed to encourage our students to explore without limits in an environment of support, inclusion, and curiosity.

I believe in a college culture that champions lifelong learning—and that enduring spirit is captured in our new tagline: 'Explore without limits.'

Trevelyan College's Global Dynamics Lecture Series, in partnership with the Senior Common Room and the al-Sabah Programme in SGIA, brings the world's expertise to Durham. The Series was launched with the singular purpose of exposing the communities of the College, and indeed the wider University and city, to discussions relating to the forces that are changing and shaping the world around us.
