Founded on principles of excellence, equality and opportunity for all, the University of York opened in 1963 with just 230 students.
Since then we have become one of the world’s leading universities, carving out a reputation as an academic powerhouse where a clear focus on excellence has secured national and international recognition alongside longer established institutions.
A member
of the elite Russell Group of universities, we are a dynamic,
research-intensive university committed to the development of life-saving
discoveries and new technologies to tackle some of the most pressing global
challenges.
There are now over 30 academic departments and research centres and the student body has expanded to nearly 16,000.
The University is deeply embedded in the local community of North Yorkshire. We are a hub for sharing knowledge and enriching lives.
Our Centre for Lifelong Learning has been offering high-quality courses and rewarding experiences for over 25 years.
The York Festival of Ideas welcomes a wide audience to free events that provoke new ideas and inspire change. We also open up access to our diverse research through YorkTalks, an annual showcase of free bite-sized talks from our academics.
