Your free time
As a short courses student, you’re a member of Derwent College.
This means you have access to the Junior Common Room as a place to relax. At D Bar there is a mixture of events like open mic nights and band nights - see Derwent social events. Derwent is also home to the Norman Rea Gallery, run entirely by students.

Places to visit in the UK
York is a great base to explore the UK due to its central location and good transport links. Must-see places to visit in the UK could include London, Edinburgh or the Lake District. Closer to York, there is Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool or Scarborough and Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast.
See VisitBritain.com for more ideas.
Staying away form
If you’re staying away overnight then you must complete the staying away form.
Fill in one form for every group of students who are travelling together - so if five students are travelling together, only one student needs to fill in the form.
