University of York

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. They are committed to the development of life-saving discoveries and new technologies to tackle some of the most pressing global challenges. The university has received a broad range of accolades and notably placed 42nd in the world for their humanities and arts department according to the Times Higher Education World U niversity Rankings. The university has over 17,000 students, though is still expanding in order to increase their student capacity. The campus itself is safe and attractive. It is within walking distance of the York city center, in addition to having world class facilities.
