New students and arrivals
Keeping up to date
As we get closer to the start of the semester, we'll email your University of York email account with information and advice on how to prepare, and share copies of the emails below.
Welcome to the University of York! Things to do first - 22 August 2025
Before you arrive
If you’re wanting to plan ahead, you might want to familiarise yourself with these useful online resources:
- Take a look at our welcome pages for new postgraduates
- Check the Wentworth events page and our Eventbrite for details of what's going on in Wentworth for the first few weeks
- Join our official Wentworth Facebook group
- Whether you are moving into catered or self-catered accommodation, you'll need to think about food for your first evening. Depending on when you arrive, our on-campus outlets may be closed, and if you are moving into catered accommodation, please be aware your meals will only be available on weekdays during the semester.
When you're here
Find out about nearby services, college spaces and places to grab a bite to eat on our college facilities web page.
If you are living off campus, you can collect your student ID card from Wentworth Graduate College Hub during opening hours from Monday 8 September 2025 onwards.
Your first few weeks
Throughout your first weeks of being a member of Wentworth, the College and the University of York's Student's Union will put together a programme of activities to welcome you to the Wentworth Graduate College community and introduce you to other postgraduates.
