University of York (reviews)

Studying PPE at York has been challenging as the course itself is not very interdisciplinary. That said I have recieved tailored choices to study a broad variety of modules allowing every PPE degree to be different. York itself has a great community aspect established through the college system and I highly recommend getting as involved as possible such as through college committee, college sport and living in halls – all of which I took part in.

York Law School offers a very unique course which contrasts that to every in the country. The experience I have gathered from having interviews and negotiations as an active part of my course is particularly notable. Moreover, the study space is new and well-furnished. It is comfortable and perfect for get togethers with other students.

I enjoy learning about law and how its used in the University through their interactive programme that allows students to research and study as if they were practicing lawyers. The problem based learning scenarios and sessions place education directly in the hands of the students and give them control. This method is useful as it allows me to dictate my education around me and navigate the subject independently at times.

Wish I hadn’t gone, crap place in the world, bad people, bad racist university staff, bad course, bad organisation. The whole thing was a waste of time. I got my 2:1 in Accounting (ABFM) without going to a lecture, and then threw it straight in the bin.

A generally positive experience here. To begin with, the city itself was wonderful and I loved living there. Unfortunately, living in such a great city often coincides with a higher cost of living, which I did experience. The University has a great reputation and wonderful facilities and resources which are always expanding. There were several great study spots which I frequented. The course I studied was a high quality, well organised and academically rigorous course. I did have to study a lot of content I wasn’t interested in, so I didn’t enjoy some of the course. The university also suffered with a lot of strike action. I was personally unaffected, but I know many who were very negatively impacted by this.

The University of York is a beautiful campus university just outside of the city centre, making it the perfect location to separate that hard study life from the well needed down time with friends in the various places for entertainment in the city.
The campus also has a variety of events going on throughout the week with hundreds of societies hosting exciting things to get involved in after those lectures and seminars.
In terms of workload and manageability, the university offers great help and advice to relieve students of any stress as staff members are extremely supportive. The workload in my personal experience is challenging however extremely doable within the given time frame. This is perfect for juggling the exciting mixture of social and academic experiences which the university has to offer.

The University of York campus is a student-friendly institution with a lot of dedicated staff in place to support student needs. In terms of teaching quality, I think the professors at York are experienced, responsible and from diverse backgrounds. During my time there I learned a wealth of industry knowledge, research methods in engineering and cross-cultural teamwork skills. Through networking events, I also got to develop my social circle as I met so many like-minded people there

My opinion regarding University would always be ecstatic. I would recommend to all the other fellow beings who would be looking for future reference to study my personal recommendation would be University of York. Firstly I would suggest you because of the number of exciting course they offer with the best module leaders and supervisors who would be there to guide you in your path.The staff and the administrative department both are very humble humans being in nature, also the vibe it shares you won’t be feeling left among the people whom you don’t know. They’ll always be there for you and to help you out in the time of difficulties. Surely it’s a good chance to be a part of York. I’m an aspiring Archaeologist so yes this city literally makes me to love history more. It’s a perfect place to be around.
