Enabling

Our refreshed University Strategy is made up of 13 strategic areas and is our roadmap up until 2027. It includes three academic core strategies, four transversal strategies and six enabling strategies.

Building on Strength, Shaping our Future

We remain committed to our collegiate model and aim for 40-45% of our full-time students who are taught in Durham to live in University-managed accommodation.
