Access information
Many of our buildings are modern and designed for accessibility but a small number of the colleges and departments in Durham City are in very old, listed buildings where getting around isn't always straightforward.
“The support that I have received from the disability services team at Durham has been overwhelmingly positive, helping me get the most out of my experience and maximising my academic potential in exams. The team was extremely proactive and organised in arranging a meeting for me at a time that was suitable for me, to sort out extenuating circumstances for exams and explaining the services available to me as a type one diabetic."
