Information for higher education institutions

We are dedicated to expanding the reach and impact of our research and teaching through strategic alliances and collaborative research projects with partner institutions.

Fostering sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships is a cornerstone of our international strategy. We have mobility agreements with over 150 institutions worldwide, offering invaluable opportunities for students and strengthening inter-institutional relationships.

How can you collaborate with York

There are various ways that your institution can engage with York:

Exchange agreements

These long-term agreements facilitate reciprocal student exchanges at the university, faculty, or department level. Students can transfer their credits between institutions.

Visiting student agreements

These agreements allow students to study at York on a tuition fee-paying basis. As part of this agreement, the home institution typically covers tuition fees and sometimes accommodation fees. Students will take a full York credit-load and be issued with an academic transcript, allowing module credit to be recognised by their home institution.

Direct enrolment (independant applicant)

Direct enrollment is similar to the visiting student option, but students are responsible for paying their tuition fees. Students will take a full York credit-load and be issued with an academic transcript, allowing module credit to be recognised by their home institution.

Cohort programmes

Your students can experience studying in the UK through our cohort programme. A group of students on a cohort programme may be accompanied or unaccompanied by a member of academic staff from their home institution. Students on a cohort programme may take a full York credit-load or may combine with home institution teaching onsite in York. Cohort programme students will be issued with an academic transcript of their York modules, allowing module credit to be recognised by their home institution.
