Nathania
Durham UniversityBA Liberal Arts (LA01)Hi everyone, I’m Nathania! I’m from Essex, went to state schools in Southend and East London, and now, I’m studying English, Spanish and a mix of Criminology and Sociology at Durham. I have alot of interests and probably study ja few too many subjects, but doing Liberal Arts at Durham has given me some very unique and unexpected learning experiences! I will be heading to Spain for my Year Abroad as part of my degree next year, hoping to get some journalistic experience and likely will continue that or do a Law conversion course after university. Any questions - send them through! -

Mia
Durham UniversityBA Modern Languages and Cultures (R002)Hey! I’m Mia, a Modern Languages and Cultures (MLAC) Undergraduate. I am currently in my first year here at Durham University and I am a part of the Josephine Butler College family. More specifically, I study Spanish (post A-level) and Italian (beginners) at Durham and I am loving learning both languages in such a beautiful city. When I am not watching a Spanish series on Netflix or following an Italian influencer online you would probably find me taking part in some of Durham’s societies. I am a proud member and college representative of the 93% club, a volunteer and Spanish representative for MLAC Outreach and also part of the Hispanic and Italian societies. Feel free to ask me about these (or any other) societies here at Durham if this is something you might be interested in. I hope to answer all of your questions relating to university and Durham, no matter how big or small they may be. Please ask away! -

Counties of the North East
Durham
County town Durham is one of the UK’s most picturesque cities. Its two staples – the cathedral and castle – were among the world’s first UNESCO World Heritage sites. The cathedral might look familiar, having stood in for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.
The High Force waterfall in the Durham Dales is well worth a visit.
Northumberland
Northumberland has lots to explore, from castles and historical market towns.
Its coastline and the jaw dropping North Pennines are both designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you love animals, take a boat ride past to spot puffins on Coquet Island, off the coast of Amble.
Tyne & Wear
You'll find lively communities, football fans, nightlife, and art venues – including The Glasshouse and the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art.
You'll also have peaceful beaches and seaside towns nearby, like Tynemouth and South Shields.
