Visiting students
If you're already studying at another university, you can apply to spend time at York as a visiting student. During a period of full-time supervised study you’ll have the opportunity to fully integrate into academic and social life here on campus and in the city.
We welcome undergraduate and postgraduate visiting students from across the world. You can join us through individual university partnerships, third party providers and country-specific government initiatives, or as an independent applicant.
You can study with us for one term (typically ten weeks), two terms, or even a full academic year. After you've successfully completed your studies we'll issue you with an academic transcript.

Your steps to joining us
"York is safe and quiet enough to concentrate on your work, but big enough to enjoy yourself outside of your academic life. There are lots of beautiful historical spots, nice cafes and restaurants, and pubs in town, and it’s a good location to travel throughout the UK. If you want a good academic environment, in a fun and interesting city, York is the place for you.”
