List of Durham University people

This is a list of people associated with Durham University, divided for user convenience into multiple subcategories. This includes alumni, those who have taught there, conducted research there or played a part in its founding.

Durham University is a collegiate university, so where known and if applicable, they are shown alongside their associated college. Note that college membership was not always compulsory.^[a] Staff candidates who have read for higher degrees, like the geologist Gillian Foulger or the historian Jeremy Black, did not join a college either. Alumni who did not take up membership of a college or society are therefore listed as Unattached.

This list is divided into categories indicating the field of activity in which people have become well known. Alumni who have achieved distinction in more than one field are listed in the field in which it is felt they are most associated, or have been involved in more recently.

Durham alumni are active through organizations and events such as the annual reunions, dinners and balls. By 2009, the university claimed 67 Durham associations, ranging from international to college and sports affiliated groups, catered for the more than 109,000 living alumni.^[3]

Notes

^ From Epiphany term of 1871 the university, as a way of lowering the cost of studying at Durham, began to admit students without the need to join a college or hall – an innovation that may have been influenced by Oxford's decision to admit non-collegiate students in 1868.^[1] This change proved popular, and between 1870/71 and 1890/91 the 'Unattached Members' were 28% of entrants.^[2]
