The College of St Hild and St Bede, commonly known as Hild Bede, is a college of Durham University in England. It is the university's second largest collegiate body, with over 1000 students. The co-educational college was formed in 1975 following the merger of two much older single-sex institutions, the College of the Venerable Bede for men and St Hild's College for women.
