DUR campus
The campus of DUR is located in Durham. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. DUR accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
