A University for Public Good

Founded on principles of excellence, equality and opportunity for all, the University of York opened in 1963 with just 230 students. In 2024 it is the home of more than 20,000 students across more than 30 academic departments and research centres.

Our vision is to be a university for public good and our strategy is built around our commitment to meeting four strategic objectives which are to:

Deliver curiosity-driven and action-orientated research
Embracing complexity and uncertainty that arise in an increasingly interconnected, rapidly changing world.

Provide education that empowers
Transforming the whole student experience to create high quality, flexible, inclusive and accessible lifelong learning journeys.

Create a community without limits
A diverse community that reflects both wider UK society and our principle of internationalism, fosters a sense of belonging, and operates at the highest academic and ethical standards.

Demonstrate local commitment on a global scale
By establishing an inclusive environment, removing barriers to progression for our staff and students, and creating physical, virtual and cultural spaces that facilitate rich exchanges, we transform perceptions and enable a culture of possibilities where new knowledge is generated and everyone can thrive.
