There are always plenty of events and activities going on around campus which will let you meet new people, try new things, learn a skill, or take a break from your studies.
We have planned another range of fantastic trips across Yorkshire!
Join us as we visit some of the stunning sights that Yorkshire has to offer and make new friends.
Visit the classic Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby, explore the old cobbled streets of Haworth and Knaresborough, or spend a day on the beach in Scarborough. We have something for everyone!
We’ve chartered a private boat for an exclusive evening cruise down the Ouse. It’s the ultimate way to wind down, grab a drink, and see the city from the water. Leave the library behind for the evening and join us for chilled-out vibes, live music, and a fully stocked bar. This event is open to ALL international students and ALL postgraduate students.
Date | Wednesday 17th July
Time | 7pm-9pm
Staying in York over the summer? We've got you covered for a range of exciting events and trips to help you meet other students, have fun and make the most of your summer in York!
Join us for a relaxed social of traditional garden games
Come along and enjoy a relaxed afternoon of nostalgic childhood games, free drinks, and a bit of friendly competition. We'll bring fun team challenges and classic favourites like tug-of-war, three-legged races, and sack races, plus relaxing activities like giant lawn games including Jenga and connect-four.
Whether you want to get stuck in or just watch from the sidelines with a drink, it’s a laid-back way to meet other students and enjoy some fresh air.
