St John's College is one of Durham's smallest colleges, renowned for its welcoming community and beautiful setting on the Bailey beside Durham Cathedral. Founded in 1909 and based in a collection of historic listed buildings overlooking the River Wear, John's brings together students, staff and Fellows in a close-knit community of learning, friendship and belonging.

As an independent, recognised College of Durham University, our students study for University degrees alongside members of other colleges while benefiting from the distinctive opportunities, traditions and community life that make St John's unique.
