Global Friends

flags in a globe shapeGet 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.
