Middle Common Room (MCR)

Stephenson Middle Common Room is a thriving, diverse and supportive postgraduate community, run by an elected group of students dedicated to making your time at Stephenson College an enjoyable and enriching experience. The MCR organises dedicated events and social activities for postgraduate members of the College, works collaboratively with the JCR to support the development of sports clubs and societies in College and represents postgraduate students' views to the College and wider University.

Membership of our MCR will unlock a whole range of events and opportunities which will enrich your Durham experience such as:
