PG Open Day (with sessions)

Join us for our Postgraduate Open Day

On Saturday 27 June 2026, we're giving you the chance to discover what Durham University has to offer. 

Whether you’re just starting to explore your postgraduate options, have already applied, or are holding an offer, this is your opportunity to discover more about Durham.  Join us to learn more about your department, explore our Colleges, experience life in the city and feel confident about your next steps.

There are a variety of central sessions taking place throughout the day listed below. Book onto any you're interested in to find out more.

The department-led sessions below are a great way to find out more about your course or area of interest.

◊ Presentation: our academic staff talk through the department and courses available, followed by a Q&A.

◊ Drop-in: come along any time within the hour slot to speak with our academic staff, learn more about your course and connect with others who share your interests.

◊ One-to-one: book a 15-minute appointment with our academic staff.

◊ Exhibition: drop by to take a look at some examples of the work, research or field trips our students and department have completed.

◊ Tours: our academic staff or student ambassadors take you on a tour of our facilities and answer your questions.

Advice for Blue Badge Holders

The University has a number of blue badge-holder parking bays. Unfortunately, it's not possible to pre-book these bays. Further details regarding University parking can be found on our website. If visiting our Lower Mountjoy site, on Stockton Road there are accessible parking bays on the left-hand side as you enter the University site. Our security office slightly further up the road will be able to provide alternatives should these be full.  

Alternatively, you can view the access to our teaching buildings and Colleges by using AccessAble.

As our presentations and tours take place throughout our estate, which is spread throughout the city, accessible parking is subject to the sessions you wish to visit.
