The aim of the Hatfield Lioness Scholarship is to enable a female student from a developing country where access to tertiary education is limited to benefit from undertaking postgraduate study at the University of Durham. The scholarship has been set up as part of the celebration of 30 years of women students at Hatfield College, University of Durham, and is funded by alumni, friends of the College and other sources supportive of the scholarship’s aims. Further information about fundraising for this scholarship can be found here.
Hatfield College aims to award the Lioness Scholarship to an individual who has the academic and personal qualities to enable them to complete and benefit from a postgraduate course, and who will also act as a positive ambassador for their home country in Durham, and put their enhanced knowledge and skills gained from the master’s programme and experience in Durham to good use for the benefit of their society when they return home.

Durham University is distinctive - a residential collegiate university with long traditions and modern values. We seek the highest distinction in research and scholarship and are committed to excellence in all aspects of education and transmission of knowledge. Our research and scholarship affect every continent. We are proud to be an international scholarly community which reflects the ambitions of cultures from around the world. We promote individual participation, providing a rounded education in which students, staff and alumni gain both the academic and the personal skills required to flourish.
Durham is one of the world’s great universities and one of the most distinctive. Our future is bright. We attract wonderful students from all around the world and we are ready to embrace change. We built our new University Strategy over the course of 18 months. Vice-Chancellor Ray Hudson began the process and I was privileged to complete it, working with a dedicated team of academics and members of the professional services, as well as students. Our approach to Strategy building was distinctive in three main ways. First, we have not been content to state that we will build a stronger faculty, improve our estate, enhance our education offer or make our professional services more efficient. We agreed that we would always link an objective to an action.
Second, the Strategy was developed with a view to engaging the Durham University community as fully as possible. Our governing bodies, Senate and Council, saw all the chapters as Green and White papers and the wider University community had access to an interactive Strategy website. Consultation outside the University has focused on our Estate Masterplan but nothing has been held back. Third, the development of the Strategy did not constrain the University from taking some major decisions during its period of gestation. To the contrary: the University community agreed during the course of 2016 to endorse a set of policy proposals that will fundamentally change the size, shape and mission of the University.
