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 universities 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 the universities.
Visiting Student agreements
These agreements allow students to study at York when they are unable to enter into a full exchange. As part of this agreement, the home university typically covers tuition fees and sometimes accommodation fees. Students can transfer their credits between the universities.
Direct enrolment (freemover)
Direct enrollment, or freemover, is similar to the visiting student option, but students are responsible for paying their tuition fees.
Cohort programmes
Your students can experience studying in the UK through our cohort programme. Students in our programme can choose from the following options:
- earn home credits while studying with us by taking classes from the accompanying academic department or through an online option (students can transfer credits between universities)
- attend classes at York for a semester or year without earning credits
IFSA
US colleges and universities can facilitate student mobility through IFSA, a long-standing University of York partner.
ISEP
We have a partnership with the Exchange and Study Abroad provider, ISEP.
Short courses and summer schools
Staff and students can sample life at York through our range of short courses and summer programs.
