University of York

University of York

The University of York has, since its inception in 1963, powered its way to a leading position in the UK and is one of only a handful of universities less than 50 years old that are ranked in the world top 100. The University of York’s research has a worldwide reputation for excellence, and the quality of its teaching and student experience is acknowledged throughout the UK and beyond.  The University of York places equal emphasis on research and teaching – most of its researchers also teach. This means that undergraduate and postgraduate students in every discipline are taught and advised by leaders in their field. York is a truly international university but it is also deeply committed, socially, culturally and economically, to the great city of which it is a part.
