New international students: Welcome to York Guide
We look forward to welcoming you!
This guide helps with additional tasks that international students need to do once you confirm that you're coming to York. It should be read along with our information for new undergraduates or new postgraduates.
All new international students can request a Buddy - they'll share their own university experiences and offer friendly advice. They can even get in touch before you arrive in York.
