Congratulations on your offer to study Anthropology at Durham University! We are very much looking forward to meeting you. On the day, you will get a sense of what it would be like to study Anthropology with us and the unique opportunities this would offer you. You will get the chance to meet students and staff and ask us any questions about the programmes and department that you wish to. Scroll down for a schedule of activities and further information about what you can expect during the Post-offer Visit Day.
The 2025 University Post-offer Visit Day Guide can be found here. The 2026 Guide will be published soon.
We are one of the largest Anthropology departments in the UK and also one of the broadest – we study humanity in all its diversity, both biological and cultural. You would be taught by enthusiastic, compassionate staff who are active researchers and often leading experts in their field. We place a strong emphasis on transferable academic and research skills, including a funded residential fieldwork module at one of a choice of European sites or a virtual alternative.
We are hosting two in-person Post-offer Visit Days in 2026, on Saturday 14th March 2026 and Saturday 25th April 2026.
There are two academic sessions each day, running from 10:00-12:00 and 13:30-15:30. The schedule is as follows:
