Global Friends
Get Involved with Global Friends
Global Friends is a society which aims to
make all international students feel at home and have a wonderful
time at the University and in York. The society is meant to bring
international and British students together and to encourage
multi-cultural friendships.
By taking part in social and cultural
events that we organise on campus we hope that you will meet other
international students, British students, and their friends. With a
series of Global Tea gatherings, film nights and various
fun and educational trips around the UK, we hope to share and
expand on your cultural, travelling, studying experiences and much
more with one another.
Visit the
YSJ online shop to see what trips are available now.
The events on the page above are those
put on by the International department. There are many more events
going on during Welcome Week and throughout the year, so be
sure to visit the Students' Union to find out more.

Global Tea takes place on the first Wednesday of every month in
the International Sitting Room (first floor of Holgate) at 3:30pm.
A second Global Tea takes place on the third Wednesday of each
month in the Students' Union Cafe from 3:30pm. Please come
