What makes us different

The University of York exists for public good. One of the world’s premier institutions for inspirational teaching and life-changing research, they support innovation through open academic debate. Their core principles of equality and opportunity for all drive a commitment to widening access to higher education.

 

Above all, the University places this global awareness at the heart of what they do. Through a dedication to collaboration, they partner with organisations across disciplines and continents to address the biggest social and environmental challenges of our time. York is an international community, one which promotes equality and humanity across a rapidly changing world.

 

With excellent links to the rest of the country, the historic city has a vibrant social scene, offering shops, clubs, museums, bars, restaurants and activities for all. Frequent festivals, sporting events and cultural activities ensure that it’s big enough to feel lively, but small enough to feel like home.
