York is one of just a handful of universities less than 60 years old to have advanced so quickly into the World Top 100 league table .
York believes passionately in research-informed teaching and in the application of its research for the benefit of people and society.
York was a pioneer in creating programmes designed to enhance student's graduate employment prospects including offering multiple volunteering, internship and job placement programmes as well as access to alumni professional networks and mentoring opportunities.

A-Level and GCSE Requirements
A/AS level
The University of York has always welcomed breadth in the school curriculum in Years 12 and 13 provided by, for example, additional subjects taken at AS level or independent work such as an Extended Project Qualification.
We recognise that the planned changes to the 16-19 curriculum will mean that, from 2017 entry on, the opportunities open to students to take combinations of A and AS level examinations will vary from school to school and college to college. The University of York will not discriminate for or against students according to the practice in their school or college and we will continue to take into account all information available to us in the UCAS application, including past examination performance and predictions of future success.
Separation of Science practical assessments
The University of York recognises the value of practical work undertaken during the study of science A levels in contributing to students’ understanding of the curriculum and in building skills for the future. When results in academic and practical work are separately reported, we will normally expect to see a Pass grade in the practical element of a science A level. Where a Pass grade is required, this will be explicitly stated as part of the applicant’s offer.
Teaching Standards
York has had consistently high scores for teaching quality in the National Student Survey (NSS).
Nearly 90% of York students praised the quality of teaching on their courses in the 2012 National Student Survey.
Research Standards
Twelve of 25 departments ranked in the top ten nationally for research impact in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. York has among the highest proportion of research activity of world-leading 4* status of any UK university, and ranks 14th of 155 higher education institutions for its research excellence with eight departments ranking in the top five for their subject.
York was ranked in the top ten for the impact of its research.
The University of York places equal emphasis on research and teaching. Most of the people whose research helped the University to perform so well in the REF also teach. The results confirm that students in every department – both undergraduate and postgraduate – are taught and advised by leaders in their discipline.
York attracts significant research funding from a range of international sources including the EU, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Wellcome Trust.
York committed to strengthening our position as one of the world’s premier institutions for inspirational and life-changing research. York recently launched a new research strategy which showcases seven inter-disciplinary research themes and provides renewed empahsis and support for its research student community through the creation of the York Graduate Research School.
The University of York holds 12 awards from the Athena SWAN Charter in recognition of excellence in science, engineering and technology employment in higher education relating to supporting women in science.
Academic Strengths
York has always concentrated on supporting strong departments with a commitment to excellence in research and teaching and a demonstrable interest in supporting inter-disciplinary research.
The University of York has the highest average score for teaching quality in the British university sector. It is also ranked tenth for the impact of its research. In recent years it has also performed strongly in commercialising its intellectual property and was a pioneer in developing the first co-located science park to develop strong engagement with business and industry and to support the commercialisation of its research.
The doubling of the size of the campus now offers additional opportunities for further co-location of cognate businesses and to embed industrial teams into academic departments to amplify the translation of research.
Student Facilities
York has undergone one of the largest capital investments (more than £750m) in UK Higher Education and has doubled the size of its campus. It has strategically invested in creating new research and teaching facilities incuding new buildings for Computer Science, Law and Management Schools, Theatre, Film and Television (a £50m production village comprising state of the art broadcast, post-production and theatrical facilities); a £30m investment in Chemistry; a new Natural Sciences and Laboratory complex and a £20m Library expansion; £12m investment in sports facilities including the £9m York Sports Village comprising the only County Championship swimming pool in the area; a 1k cycle track and the only outdoor Velodrom in North Yorkshire. It has also invested heavily in the arts and humanities with a £12m new building to house the Humanities Research Centre and a dedicated Humanities Research Library.
The University's Enterprise Zone is a decicated centre for student-run businesses with high specification computing and video-conferencing facilities based at the Ron Cooke Hub.
A further £250m will be invested in delivering am ambitious programme of refurbishment and renewal on the original campus and will include by 2015 a new £12m building for Environment and a planned £50 m investment in biology and new inter-disciplinary teaching building.
