York St John University

Be part of our future at our world-class campus in the historic City of York

York St John University is an outstanding university, known for its academic excellence, community spirit and ambition for staff and students. We have been educating and inspiring students at our campus located within the heart of York since 1841.

Our strong community ethos and our personal approach to learning have made us a special place to work and study. We offer our students and staff personal opportunities to learn and grow – both academically and individually – and this is facilitated by the high levels of student-staff interaction within our community. We pride ourselves in identifying and developing potential in all our students and staff and hope their experiences here inspire them to shape their communities throughout their lives.

Our 175 year old campus boasts exceptional facilities on an eleven-acre site on Lord Mayor’s Walk in a stunning setting facing the world-famous York Minster across the city walls. Following a £100 million transformation over the past 10 years, our outstanding facilities ensure students benefit from the right environment in which to study and live. We are also delighted to extend our reach and share our expertise, knowledge and talents with a new generation of students at our impressive campus in London, located in the Export building at East India Dock. Close to Canary Wharf, we are part of a vibrant, dynamic and innovative hub of creative, technology, and start up businesses.
