From digital innovation to media arts, York is a creative hub for innovation and ideas. Also a member of the Creative Cities network, for two millennia York has been the meeting point for the ideas and creativity of the world.

At York, I really benefit from studying the field of digital culture, especially in helping me explore today’s relationships between human beings and technology, and their futures. I enjoy York's passion for building our great community.
