Situated in the historic city of York, York St John University has a lot to offer students. The university itself has a history dating back to 1841, when it opened with just a single student. In 1974 York St Johns merged with Ripon College, and in 2005 it became York St John University. 

In the city of York you’ll find plenty to suit a student lifestyle, from eccentric old bars and pubs to contemporary clubs and cinemas. From a cultural perspective, the city has a lot to offer. There’s a range of museums and galleries across the city, and a lot of places of historical interest can be seen just walking down the street. Head to The Shambles for quaint old shops on what’s probably the narrowest street you’ve ever seen, or the Minster for beautiful architecture. 

The uni prides itself on its commitment to sustainability. All its energy comes from low-carbon, sustainable sources, and it aims to have reduced its carbon emissions by 80% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. Since 2016, none of its waste has gone to landfill, and over 1000 trees have been planted on its campuses in the last few years to encourage biodiversity. 

York has a major railway station well within walking distance of the city centre, with trains running direct to several different major UK cities. It’s also easily accessible by car as it’s just off the A1(M) and M1. The closest airport is Leeds Bradford.
