大学概况University Profile

York has launched a series of initiatives to boost its students’ transferable skills and networking opportunities to enhance their employment prospects. Every student has an online tutorial to identify key strengths and career development needs.

York is the first UK university to host its own crowd funding website (to generate cash for students’ ideas), and over 2,000 students annually attend workshops, seminars and networking events with York alumni working in senior positions in a range of industries, who advise on securing internships, volunteering experience and graduate employment.

The university has established a Winter Interns programme to provide employment opportunities to recent graduates and provide them with graduate level training.

The university celebrated its 50^th anniversary in 2013, a year after joining the Russell Group of leading research institutions. It remains comfortably in the top 20 of our league table and has been growing in popularity with prospective students: applications and enrolments both rose significantly in 2013.

However, scores in the National Student Survey– a traditional strength of the university - slipped in 2014, placing the university outside of the top 50 of this measure, although the medical school, which is assessed separately, still finished in the top 10.

At the other end of the scale, York was among the top 10 institutions in the last Research Assessment Exercise, when more than 60% of the work submitted was judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent. Research remains core to the university’s mission and nearly 30% of the full-time students are postgraduates.

The new Heslington East campus has changed the scale of the university – adding up to 50% more students than previously possible – while not affecting academic standards. Securing a place here remains highly competitive with students entering with just under 450 Ucas points on average.

Seven new buildings have opened on the £750m Heslington East development, including two residential colleges, each accommodating more than 600 students. The second phase is now under way and refurbishment is taking place on the original campus. A £21m “hub” for the campus expansion opened in 2010 and a £20m refurbishment of the university library was completed in 2012. The latest development has seen new undergraduate laboratories and a Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence added.

The original campus occupies 200 acres of landscaped parkland, a mile outside the historic city centre. Students join one of the nine colleges, which mix academic and social roles. Most departments have their headquarters in one of the colleges, but the student community is a deliberate mixture of disciplines, years and sexes.

Nursing apart, only archaeology and medieval studies are located off campus, sharing a medieval building in the centre of the city.

Expansion has allowed York to introduce new subjects. The first undergraduates in law and in writing, directing and performance in theatre, film and television graduated in 2011. Medicine had already been introduced in 2003, in partnership with the University of Hull. York also runs its own nursing and midwifery programmes and launched a biomedical sciences degree in 2013.

Entrance requirements are high, but the university is getting closer to meeting its targets for broadening its undergraduate intake. The share of places going to students from areas of low participation in higher education now exceeds the national average for York’s courses and entrance qualifications, although the same is not true of entrants from working class backgrounds.

Every student has a supervisor responsible for their academic and personal welfare, and undergraduates are entitled to free language tuition and have access to a Mathematics Study Skills Centre.

Students can also take the York Award, comprising a range of courses, work placements and voluntary activities which aim to prepare students for employment. Over 600 students work as volunteer teaching assistants in local schools.

Social life on campus is lively. There are television and radio stations, as well as several student newspapers and magazines. Sports facilities are good, and include four sports halls and dance studio.

The £12m York Sports Village opened on campus in 2012, featuring a 25-metre pool, learner pool, 100-station gym, full-size 3G pitch and three further five-a-side pitches.

The university has the only velodrome in Yorkshire, which opened this summer, a 1km cycling track and a new athletics track. Tennis and squash facilities have been refurbished and £30,000 invested in bespoke team coaching.

Cultural events abound on campus and in the city, which is also famous for a high concentration of pubs and its music scene. The free Festival of Ideas brings world-class speakers to the campus and includes a lively student fringe festival.

学生观点Student view

Sam Maguire, students’ union president

First impressions

You feel very supported by older students who help you move in and introduce you to the college system.

Worst feature

Our campus has the highest number of birds per square foot, and in mating season they get very rowdy and grumpy.

Making a difference

You get to try out whatever you want at York, meaning you are a more rounded young adult when you leave.

Deal clincher

The range of societies and sporting opportunities, including crazy ones like Kigu, where you share your love of onesies, and underwater hockey.
