University of York

As a member of the Russell Group and one of just four UK universities rated both gold for teaching and top 10 for research, we combine academic excellence with social purpose. Our founding values of excellence, equality and opportunity for all are as true today as they were when we opened our doors to 230 students in 1963. Today we're home to more than 20,000 students and 5,000 staff. Our diverse community fosters a sense of belonging and operates at the highest academic and ethical standards.

Our taught Masters courses bring people together from all walks of life—an eclectic mix of personalities with stories as diverse as the courses they‘re enrolled on. From pioneering researchers on a quest to uncover new knowledge to studious minds determined to unlock new levels in their professional lives or those indulging a passion for a subject they love.

All of this in a place where it’s safe to be you. Introvert or extrovert. Scientist or artist. Dreamer or doer. You’ll find your place in our community of thinkers who see things differently, challenge the status quo, and strive to make the world a better place.
