Enquiring minds, inspirational teaching, pioneering research, global ambition, local commitment and social purpose. These are the foundations that shape the University of York.

A member of the prestigious Russell Group, we are a dynamic, research-intensive university. We work collaboratively in partnership with institutions across the world to develop life-saving discoveries and new technologies that tackle some of the most pressing global challenges.

Our 30+ academic departments undertake groundbreaking research that underpins our inspiring teaching and challenges students to dream big, think critically and change the world.

At the University of York we have a dedicated team who work with schools, colleges and organisations to support students on their journey to higher education and hopefully consider York.

We run Open Days, events, activities, free online courses and lots more that might be of interest to your students. Our dedicated team also works closely with schools and colleges to deliver CPD sessions and personalised support.

You can view any upcoming events we have but please do get in contact with us at [email protected] if you have any questions. We also have dedicated information for schools and colleges, including a Teachers’ and Advisors’ Hub on our website.

We have a particular commitment to widening access to studying at York with our aims to create ‘a university for public good’. We want to create a diverse campus culture and offer support to help potential students fulfil their potential.

Our groundbreaking Contextual Offer Scheme and York Access Scheme are sector leading and offer new opportunities for students. We also run a host of programmes and projects which support students who are typically underrepresented in higher education. Please visit our website or get in touch to find out more.
