Psychology / Criminology, Graduate

(5)·By Anna O·Psychology· Jul 2021
I loved it! Lots of socials and getting to know new people. We had some taster sessions and introductory lectures which were very useful and informative. Not to mention all the club sessions and freebies! I loved my university accommodation- very secure and modern. All accommodation is within walking distance of the university and York city centre, so I couldn't have asked for better! I spent most of my study time in the library- it has everything from group study spaces to a silent floor. You are able to book out any room on campus for study/group projects. There are top class sport facilities which the university are very proud of and the students union was newly built and opened in late 2016! We had friendly and approachable lecturers and the course content was very varied. My favourite year was third year, as we were able to choose our modules and had more control over assignment topics! For example, I was able to incorporate my passion for British Sign language into my psychology of education module, examining research on the mental health of deaf children in mainstream education. I couldn't imagine living anywhere other than York once I was there and settled. It is a smaller, friendly city with lots going on all year round. From Christmas markets to food festivals and York maze hallowscream, there is always something to do.

English Studies, Year 3

(5)·By Richelle M·English Studies· Jul 2021
Loved every moment, went by in a blur but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat Really loved living there as I felt safe but had my own space too. Got on well with my flatmates and lived really close to town too Thoroughly enjoyed using the library as it is really spacious and the staff are really helpful. All of the uni's facilities are always clean and modernised as much as possible Loved the content that was included and the range of topics on my modules. The previous modules I had studies helped to shape my out of academic reading and my dissertation topic too Absolutely loved living in the city as I felt like it was a new sense of home for me. Being close to a big city also provides lots of opportunities for socialising and trying new things

The course is amazing; you get to understand the lessons that the children do, as well as how you can plan the lessons. There is a student union with a pub and cafe where you can socialise with people.

The course is amazing, with many placements in different settings throughout. I’ve learned so much about myself at university and from living in halls.

Online but still supported

(4.8)·By Zoe K·English Studies· Jun 2023
I underwent my MA by Research almost completely online, but still felt completely supported by my supervisory team as well as the wider university team. There were plenty of social events organised by the PGR team to make sure we didn't feel isolated. The examination process was also held online which was convienent for me as I was able to keep my nerves lower being in a familiar environment.
