Wentworth College

En Dieu est tou

Welcome to "Wenty". The College is the University of York's Graduate College, a hub for all the graduate activity in the University. As well as housing 460 residents, the College's top-notch study and social facilities are available to all of York's graduate students.

We have a simple aim at Wenty: each member of the College should have as full, rich, productive and enjoyable a graduate experience as possible whilst at York. We are an international college with more than 75% of our students coming from overseas. We house the Graduate Students' Association, the Active Arts Programme, The Dixon Drama Studio, the academic departments of Sociology and Criminal Justice, and "the best food on campus" (according to the campus catering survey 2007) with our award winning catering team. We have a private dining room, a common room, and a 350 capacity venue that has hosted New Year's Eve parties, comedy nights, jazz concerts and gigs from emerging talent like The Sugars. Why not use Wenty for your next departmental event? Dr Carl Thompson - Provost

Claire Inman, our Facilities Manager, would like to bring to your attention the SLA (service level agreements) for the repair or maintenance of items in your accommodation. A copy will also be held at Reception. Once your request has been entered onto the Planon system by the Porter at Reception, it will have a job number and the expected date of completion.

The Wentworth College Handbook is full of information and worthwhile browsing through.
