Student societies
The annual Fusion show is a collaborative production involving student music, dance and fashion groups
YUSU, the Students' Union, offers you the opportunity to get involved in a fantastic range of activities. Many of these will give you valuable experience for your career in today's competitive job market and for life, and you may simply never get the chance to do many of them again.
There are over 150 student societies, including award-winning newspapers, the country's first independent radio station, political parties, music and drama societies to cater for every taste, dance lessons, religious groups, film production, photography, our own TV station and even a medieval re-enactment society!
All these are entirely organised by and for students, so if nothing takes your fancy, you can always start your own.

The sheer number of societies we have at York is amazing. I really would urge people to get involved with as many of them as possible. I mean when else in your life are you likely to be able to write for a nationally renowned newspaper, take part in a Broadway-style musical, learn to skydive, or even make your own TV show?
