Application guidance

Create an account

You will need to create an account to start the application process and set yourself up as a new user. We'll then send you a confirmation email with your login details.

The form is broken down into sections. You don't need to complete your application all at once: you can start it, save it and finish it later. Remember that the UK uses the dd/mm/yyyy format for dates.

List your department and modules

State the departments you wish to study in at York, please put the main department you wish to study in as Department 1.

Undergraduate students who wish to study with us for a single semester can study in two departments. Undergraduate students who are applying to study for a full academic year, may study in up to three departments. Two in the first semester, adding a third in the second semester.

Upload your supporting documents

Documents required:

  • Academic transcript (all applicants)
  • English language certificate (if applicable)
  • Sample of your written work (if applicable).

See departmental requirements for more details.

Please make sure you upload all the required documents because we're unable to process your application without them. Please note if your documents are not issued in English as standard, we will require certified translations of these documents before assessment of your application can begin. Please also upload the original.

Submitting

Once you've completed the application, please save and submit. The admissions team cannot access an application until it has been submitted.

Once you've submitted your application, you will receive a submission email. You should get a response to your application within a couple of weeks. Remember, applications are not processed until all the necessary documentation has been received.

If your application is accepted, you will receive a ‘Welcome’ email asking you to log in to your You@York account, where you can view your offer letter.

Third party applications

We will also consider applications through third party providers. If you are an adviser submitting the application on a student's behalf, you must enter your email address in the 'New User' section of the application.
