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.
Coronavirus
If you're unable to get to York for the start of term due to travel restrictions as a result of the pandemic, most taught programmes are offering online teaching until 7 November 2021. If you can't reach York by that date, you should contact your department. PGRs should check options for incoming postgraduate researchers.
