Advice and support

York St John International is here to welcome all incoming
international students and to provide help and support throughout
your time with us. Whether you are here for a few weeks on an
English language course, a whole semester on exchange, or for years
on a degree programme, our team is always here for you.
For New Students
From the day that you first consider studying with us
at YSJ, we are here to support and advise you. Our
busy Welcome Week programmes at the start of each semester will
help you with everything when you arrive - from arranging your
accommodation, opening a bank account, and registering with the
health centre, to finding your way around the campus and city, and
making friends. All of this will help you
settle into life in the UK.
