Winter hosting

If you’re staying on campus over the Christmas and New Year period, would you like to meet with a local person or family for a few hours? This could be for a meal at their house, a walk in the park or to attend a Christmas event together.

International Student Ambassador

The International Student Ambassador role is a flexible, paid, part-time position, where you will be an ambassador for the University and a role model for prospective students.

We recruit for this post twice per year in the Autumn and Spring, when information will be posted on the Careers Gateway. Please contact international@york.ac.uk with any queries.

HOST

HOST is a charitable organisation which provides international students with the opportunity to experience a weekend in a British home. All hosts are volunteers who enjoy meeting people from other countries and cultures.
