Whilst the main focus of higher education is your studies, universities offer a wide range of initiatives to provide a transformative experience that extends far beyond the classroom

From accessing global opportunities for study and work, participating in student communities, representing your student peers as a course rep, applying for funding and scholarships to support your future ambitions, universities can support you to access a range of opportunities that can enhance your time at university and contribute to your future success. Networking is an integral aspect of university life - building relationships early on can lead to internships, job opportunities, and invaluable mentorship.

Here at the University of York, we offer many such possibilities for students, and this short course will help you to explore the range of opportunities available to maximise your time at University. University is a life-changing experience - by embracing the experiences that sit alongside academia, you’ll be able to grow as a person, develop your skills and have a truly fulfilling higher education journey.
