Anne Lister College
Welcome to Anne Lister College!
We’re the first of the University of York’s colleges to be named after a woman, as well as someone who was part of the LGBTQ+ community.
We hope our students follow in Anne Lister’s footsteps - by being broad in their knowledge and prolific in the pursuit of it, while being unashamedly themselves.
