We’re delighted to welcome you to Cuth’s, proudly the third-oldest college in Durham, and famously “traditionally untraditional.” Here, you’ll find a vibrant, friendly community ready to help you settle into your new life in Durham.
We're so glad you've joined us. We're excited to have you here and look forward to sharing great experiences together. Please follow the links below for all the information regarding arrivals, induction, enrolment, and more.
The Timetable has been designed so College events don’t clash with any of your academic departmental events, but offer you lots of opportunities to meet your fellow Freshers, find your way around and settle into student life.
