St Chad’s is one of the oldest colleges in Durham, situated in one of the city’s most stunning locations. Established in 1904 as an Anglican foundation, and aiming to live out its Christian ethos with integrity and imagination in the 21st century, Chad’s today welcomes students of all faiths and beliefs to study for the whole range of Durham University degrees. We especially welcome students from under-represented backgrounds and have a wide range of scholarships, bursaries and financial support to help you make the most of your time as a Chad’s student. With over 450 undergraduate and around 150 postgraduate students, we are a hospitable, human-sized community with an excellent reputation as a college where students will be both challenged and supported.
