We will be running a brand new exclusive Schools Membership Scheme in person event for your students in 2023. This will take place in Doncaster on Tuesday 25th April 2023. Please note: there was an event planned in Birmingham on Friday 21st April, this has been cancelled. If you were hoping to attend please get in touch with us at schools.membership@durham.ac.uk.
The event will be hosted by the Student Recruitment team at Durham University and aims to provide participating students with a variety of information about higher education and student life. Students will learn about the benefits of higher education and work with current undergraduates (Durham Student Ambassadors) to gain an insight into what it’s like to study at Durham.
Our Durham Student Ambassadors will be on hand to support your students throughout their visit. Teachers will be expected to accompany their students and we can take up to 20 students per school (this may rise depending on the level of interest). The sessions will be led by current university students and there will also be university staff on hand.
