I really enjoy the teaching and the support from the department is really good. Every student is assigned a supervisor to help with academic and personal queries. They also help signpost you to other international student support as well.

York is well-connected and easy to reach. At the heart of the UK, York has direct rail links that can take you to London, Edinburgh and Manchester and other major cities in the UK and abroad.

There are plenty of reasons to stay in Yorkshire, too. We’re surrounded by beautiful countryside, with castles, outdoor adventure activities and natural beauty. York is close to the sandy beaches of Scarborough and coastal towns like Whitby – the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s famous book, Dracula.
