约克位于北约克郡中部。因为它正位于英国的中心地带,是铁路和公路的枢纽,所以要到约克来实在是再方便不过了。从当地乘火车,只要大约两个小时就可以直达伦敦和爱丁堡了。

大学概况University Profile
York St John is the only university in the UK to have increased its enrolment of undergraduates for the last four years in a row. It attracted one of the biggest increases in the country when higher fees were introduced and added another 14% last year.
Its popularity continued a well-established trend: undergraduate applications have risen by 60% since university status arrived in 2006, with growth in the arts, business, theology, education, health and life sciences.
Professor David Fleming, the vice-chancellor, said the university had invested in the quality of its teaching and the campus environment, as well as offering a strong package of fee waivers and student support.
The university will charge perhaps the lowest fees in England on its foundation degrees in education and theology, which will cost £3,500 in 2015-16, but the fees for all honours degrees will be £9,000.
York St John is a Church of England foundation that dates back to 1841, when the Diocesan Training School opened with just one pupil on the register, in whose honour the students’ union is named. The 11-acre site faces York Minster across the city walls and is a five-minute walk from the city centre.
Now serving 6,000 students, the campus has seen £91m of development in recent years and more is planned. The Fountains Learning Centre, which provides a striking entrance to the university, has been refurbished. It now has 530 computer workstations, multimedia group-work facilities, 24-hour access to enhanced self-service facilities and an enlarged book stock, as well an internet café and lecture theatre.
Nearby, the prize-winning De Grey Court, which cost £15.5m and serves the health and life sciences, links the university quarter with the city centre.
Divided between York and Ripon for most of its existence, the institution diversified beyond teacher training in the 1980s and decided in 1999 to concentrate all its teaching on York.
The university’s mission statement says its provision is “shaped” by the York St John’s church foundation, although it welcomes students of all beliefs.
The Business School, launched in 2008, is now the biggest faculty, having overtaken Education and Theology, as well as Health and Life Sciences.
The university has launched a number of successful enterprise initiatives. Its latest venture, the Phoenix Centre, a business incubation facility, supports both the university’s graduates and new local businesses.
Almost two-thirds of the students are female and there is a growing cohort of international students. More than 95% of the UK undergraduates attended state schools or colleges, over a third of them coming from working-class homes. The projected dropout rate of less than 4% maintains the impressive improvement of recent years and is now among the 10 lowest in the UK.
The Faculty of Arts, which was formed in 2001, has been one of the main points of expansion, especially in degree programmes such as film and television, media and American studies. The university was awarded a national centre for excellence in creativity, based on its work in English and theatre studies, although funding for such programmes has now ceased.
Another music technology suite has been added and performance spaces include two dedicated TV studios, digital non-linear edit suites, digital imaging equipment and equipment for sound manipulation. Drama, dance and performing arts was the most successful field in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise and the only one to contain world-leading research.
Relatively high numbers of local mature students ease the pressure on residential accommodation. As a result, first years who want to live in university-owned accommodation are now guaranteed places.
A new hall of residence for 250 students opened in 2013, 10 minutes’ walk from the campus, and the university offers a choice of catered, semi-catered and private accommodation.
The Foss Building houses a sports hall, climbing wall, basketball, netball, indoor football and cricket nets. The university has also acquired a 57-acre site 15 minutes’ walk from campus, where it has made huge improvements to the sports facilities, with cricket, rugby and football pitches, tennis and netball courts, and a six-lane athletics track.
The site includes the Rowntree Theatre, which is used mainly by local performance groups. The students’ union was recognised in the latest NUS awards as Small and Specialist Union of the Year, having doubled its number of societies and society members.
学生观点Student view

First impressions
The friendly vibe not just among fellow students but all the staff, including the lecturers.
Worst feature
York is so lovely that when you visit other cities they just don’t live up to it.
Making a difference
We raised £13,000 for charities such as Macmillan and Spark, which is a university initiative providing students with scholarships and financial support.
Deal clincher
Being a small institution, lecturers take a personal interest and you get to graduate in York Minster, too.
