Our student communications channels

Direct email

Our Things to know this week newsletter goes out to undergraduate and campus-based taught postgraduate students on Mondays during semester time.

We also produce the fortnightly York Graduate Research School newsletter for all postgraduate researchers.

The student homepage helps students find the tools, services and information they need while studying at York. The news and events feeds promote upcoming events, significant campaigns and important central updates.

News and events are also promoted through the MyUoY app.

Digital signage

The digital screens displayed around campus are used to promote messages relevant to the whole campus community. Find out more about digital signage.
