University of Durham

The University of Durham is the third-oldest university in England, after Oxford and Cambridge. Located in the beautiful cathedral city of Durham, it is one of the United Kingdom's leading research universities - coming eleventh in the 2002 Research Assessment Exercise and never out of the top twenty of either the Times Good University Guide or the Sunday Times University Guide. It is a member of the 1994 Group of Universities, representing medium-sized research universities. The current Chancellor of the University is Sir Peter Ustinov.

The Act received Royal Assent and became law on the fourth of July, 1832. The University's Royal Charter was granted on the first of June, 1837 by William IV, with the first students graduating a few days later.

It was founded, as Oxford was also, with one college named University College, which moved into Durham Castle (previously the Bishop's palace) in 1837. This was joined in 1846) by Hatfield College, across the road from the castle.

The University expanded out of Durham and into Newcastle in 1852 when the medical school there (established in 1834 became a college of the University. This was joined in
