About University of York

There’s so much to love about life at York. As a leading Russell Group university, we bring world-class teaching and life-changing research together to help students secure the first steps of a career they’ll love, no matter what course they choose. The University of York is where brave, independent minds work together for public good.

 

  • Gold-Standard undergraduate teaching, according to the latest Teaching Excellence Framework.
  • UK Top 10 for research excellence, according to the latest Research Excellence Framework.

Here’s what we do best.

 

Hands-on and flexible

 

Unique facilities and industry partnerships play a big part in a York degree, giving you practical experience in your field, as well as crucial connections in the UK and beyond. Across hundreds of courses, you’ll build your degree from topical modules and placement opportunities, so you can focus on your passion.

 

A green, inclusive campus

 

Over 20,000 students from over 150 countries – and a fair few geese, squirrels and rabbits – all call our gorgeous parkland campus their home. We’re one of only a handful of UK universities to use a college system, an extra layer of family spirit offering more intimate events and networks. Adding in hundreds of sports, societies and other student groups, you’ll have every possible chance to find your people, and to make your university experience your own.

 

A historic, practical city

 

York is regularly voted among the best and safest places to live in the UK – and for good reason. A mix of rich culture and modern innovation, it’s famed for its community feel and festivals throughout the year. To top it off, the city is surrounded by national parks and tourist hotspots, and has excellent transport links to the rest of the country.

 

Support at every stage

 

Equal-access schemes and scholarships open the University up to as many people as possible. Staff and student networks to help your physical and mental wellbeing through the highs and lows of studying. Award-winning careers teams and alumni communities to help make the most of your passions. Wherever you are in your university journey, we’re here to make help happen.
