COVID-19 update
We will be operating a full teaching schedule in 2020/21, whether on campus or online or a mix of the two, with flexible teaching to accommodate all students' circumstances, even if these change during the course of the academic year. On all programmes, for new students and for those returning to York, we aim to retain our friendly atmosphere, personal contact and small-group teaching, whether or not you are here in person.
