"My time at York definitely built the foundation blocks of my current career. I took a year out to work in industry where I gained skills in wildlife monitoring and tracking, along with a first class degree that experience allowed me to go straight from my Undergraduate course to a PhD. I realised towards the end of my degree that I didn’t feel like I had finished learning and was inspired by the fantastic lectures and academics that I had been tutored by at York."

"From my Interview day Uni of York have been amazing. There were helpful and friendly staff and students to show you around and make you feel welcome. Freshers week you're assigned STYCs (second and third year contacts) to help you around at freshers week. Our stycs really helped me and my housemates to get to know each other as well as introducing us to the local pubs and clubs and looking after us while we were there, making sure we all stuck together and no one got lost or hurt. They introduced us to some great drinking games, without peer pressuring of course. I'm studying a maths degree and the course itself is great. Lecturers have questionnaire type things for you to give feedback on and are top notch at taking on your feedback and improving their teaching for together. The accommodation is brilliant and service teams are always quick and efficient. I'd recommend Uni of York to anyone."
