    • what's special about York?
  • 2.20-2.40pm taster mini-lecture in linguistics by a member of academic staff
  • 2.40-3.15pm what will I study?
    • detailed discussion with tutors, by degree programme 
  • 3.15-3.45pm campus tour led by current students
    • includes a visit to study bedrooms/accommodation

Log in to You@York via http://www.york.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/you-at-york/ to sign up to come along on the date that suits you best.

If you can't attend a Visit Day on one of these dates, then an independent visit to the Department is usually possible instead. Contact us in advance to let us know when you hope to come: linguistics-ug-admissions@york.ac.uk.
