, commonly known as '''Castle''', is a
College of the
University Of Durham in
England . Centered around
Durham Castle on
Palace Green , it was founded in 1832 and is the oldest of Durham's seventeen colleges. As with all of Durham's colleges, it is an independently registered educational institute, which means that it organises its own admissions. Almost all academic activities, such as research and tutoring, occur at a university level.
University College moved into its current location in 1837. Around 150 students are accommodated within Durham Castle itself. Other
Halls Of Residence , dating from the 1950s and 1970s, are within five minutes walk of the Castle. It has 600 undergraduates and is currently the most over-subscribed college of the university. In 1988 it was changed from an all male college to a mixed gender college. Since 1998 its Master has been
Geologist Professor
Maurice Tucker .
University College was formed upon the creation of University of Durham in 1832. At that time the university had just one college, though it was intended to be a
Collegiate in the manner of
Oxford and
Cambridge .
