That YSJ feeling Made by you & us

Richard Music Composition

Studying at York St John brought me into contact with people, opportunities and experiences I'd never have encountered otherwise. I came to university as a part time singer-songwriter and sax player who had only decided on higher education at the last minute. Now, I've sung at the BBC Proms, heard my work performed in York Minster, and am considering another degree.

Jac History

At York St John I felt valued as a student, both in terms of my interests, and in wider support with my mental health and other difficulties. I never felt like I could not do something, as whenever I had a particular interest in a subject a Tutor would help me find resources to pursue it, or if I was struggling I was reassured that I was still capable and given resources to find the proper support. I have never felt like a number, a grade, or just another student here.

Megan Childhood and Youth Studies

I have made friends for life and people I don't think I could live without. I've met so many different people during my time here, some who have opened my eyes and changed my viewpoints on many aspects of the world. If you have a problem, or just need someone to talk to there are always people there. Even your lecturers will gladly meet you and have a coffee with you whilst you chat away!
