I'm so proud to finally be a Durham University physics graduate! 🎓💜🎉 @durham_uni
As assessment season begins, good luck to all current and former #Foundation students sitting tests and exams over the coming weeks. Try not panic, and remember how far you've come since you started your journey @durham_uni. You can do it!

Had a productive Foundation Year Science & Economics Reading Group session today looking at 'Deep Thinking'. Lots of good discussion relating ideas to progression routes. #foundation #reading #enrichment @du_foundation
We are looking forward to our Celebration & Welcome Event tonight where we will welcome new students and celebrate the achievements of last year's students who have progressed on to their degree programmes - looking forward to catching up with them! #foundation #success

It was lovely to get to meet up in Academic Advisor groups today at Beamish despite the torrential rain! We hope that bringing back the Academic Advisor role will help to build #belonging and #community, while supporting students on their #Foundation Year and academic journey.

Say hello to Billy Bee, our Library Mascot! 👋
Many students nickname Bill Bryson Library "The Billy B", so when it came to choosing a mascot, Billy was perfect for the job! 💜
You’ll see them around the Library and popping up on our social media accounts 🐝 #DULib #DUWelcome
