James College

Welcome to James College!

Our namesake, Baron James of Rusholme, was York’s first Vice-Chancellor. Lord James played a major role in the University’s architectural plans and was responsible in part for the collegiate system, through his desire for students to be part of a close-knit community.

Now with over 2,000 student members, around 600 of which live on Campus West, our sense of college community remains as strong as ever!
