IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF YORK PARTNERSHIP
York, England
WHY STUDY IN CITY?
More than 2,000 years of history are evident throughout the old city of York, including walls that date to Roman times and York Minster, Northern Europe’s largest Gothic cathedral. Contemporary entertainment are also plentiful, so don’t miss the opportunity to explore the city’s many cafés, tearooms, restaurants, and music venues.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
A member of Britain’s Russell Group, York offers rigorous academics with especially strong archaeology, history, English and STEM, and is known for close community ties. The self-contained, lake-front campus is a 20-minute walk from the historic city center.
The student-friendly city of York has all the contemporary conveniences plus a rich history and heritage. With a population of about 200,000, it’s lively, yet small enough to be easily navigated on foot or by bike. Get your bearings with a climb to the top of the York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. Others agree: York is often voted best place to live in the UK.
Ready To go farther afield? Take advantage of the city’s excellent transportation links to visit the stunning Yorkshire countryside and the coast, or zip to London or Edinburgh by train in two-and-a-half hours or less.
Your program also includes IFSA excursions and activities—all with no extra fees. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring below ground with a former coal miner in Wales.
