THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK, UK
York is a high-quality, research-focused university, consistently ranked in the Top 10 UK universities, offering a diverse student lifestyle. The university’s outstanding performance in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise was recognition of our world-leading research activity. We lead the UK league tables with the highest scores nationally for teaching and our students give us top marks in the independent National Student Survey.
Our campus is designed to encourage academic and social interaction and our 8 colleges have a strong focus on leisure, student support and community life.
The historic city of York has something for everyone. Famous for its pubs, bars and restaurants and with a thriving café culture, York was voted Best UK City for 2008. With a population of approximately 180,000, York is big enough to feel cosmopolitan but small enough not to be overwhelming.
We have many excellent graduate programs in various disciplines including Management, Sciences, Philosophy, Sociology, Economics, Archaeology, History, Music, English, Medicine, Law and Politics. The university welcomes students from a wide variety of backgrounds and nationalities with excellent academic standing; 20% of our students and academic staff are from outside the UK and our student population includes representatives from more than 100 different countries.
