York St John University (Y75)

UCAS code: Y75

Founded in 1841 we transform lives through the power of education across the generations. We pride ourselves in our community here at York St John University. It’s a close-knit, inclusive place that offers a lot more than a degree certificate. With official ‘Sanctuary’ status, we see our role as something bigger than an education provider.

  I was unsure exactly who I was going to be living with but there was a pressure to get it sorted early to get the best places. But 2 people originally I was going to live with dropped out and it was an extremely stressful process where you were left to your own devices to just sort it out with minimal help

  The course is structured well and covers interesting topics. The teachers are good. There are less contact hours that what I expected considering the fees I have to pay. Assessments are fair and challenging. Feedback takes a bit long to come back but is done well.

  So far it is very enjoyable, but I do have less contact hours than expected. It is very involving and offers many different activities and clubs which is very good.
