MA offer holders event

The Department is pleased to confirm an afternoon of events for offer holders for the MA in History of Art and associated pathway degrees on the afternoon of Friday 24th May.

For those of you unfamiliar with York, we've timed the event in such a way that you could plan to spend all or part of the bank holiday weekend in York if you wish, so you can really get to know it. Details about transport and accommodation can be found here: http://www.york.ac.uk/about/visitors/.

For those of you already familiar with York, you may wish to attend only some of the sessions, which is absolutely fine - just let us know which ones you would like to come along to.

The schedule for the afternoon is as follows:

13:15-14:15 (King's Manor Campus - please gather at the porter's lodge in time to leave at 13.15)  -  Walking tour of York: for those unfamiliar with our inspiring city.
