Welcome to Inclusive Durham

At Durham University, inclusion isn’t an add-on. It's fundamental to who we are, and it’s a firm commitment to the kind of place we want to aspire to be.

It helps us create a community where every person, staff member, student, and visitor, feels valued, respected, and able to thrive. It connects directly to our purpose as a university and our core lived values: Inclusivity, Integrity, Collaboration, Commitment to Excellence, and Citizenship. Inclusive Durham is how we bring those values into our everyday actions, and build a university where everyone has a voice, where differences are celebrated, and where belonging is a shared experience.
