Congratulations to everybody who received their A-Level results this morning, and especially to those who will now be joining us up in Durham!

A University education is one of the most enriching and transformative experiences a young person can have, and for members of our society, the Durham Union plays a large role in that. Whether stopping by our student run bar, joining us for a weekly social, or attending one of our events, we here at the society hope to see you soon!
