University of York edit

The University of York was founded in 1963 with 200 students. Since then, it has expanded to 11,000 students and has over 30 academic departments and research centres.

York has always been highly rated for the standards of its teaching, and its outstanding performance in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise is also recognition of the world-leading research activity in York. Twelve departments were ranked in the top ten in the country with almost all departments in the top 20.

The main campus at Heslington is a 200-acre landscaped park, well known for its lake and wildfowl. Here the colleges and academic buildings are on a level site within walking distance of each other. Proximity to the historic city of York makes the University a popular choice and provides a pleasant working and residential environment.
