We have curated a fantastic event schedule to help you make the most of your time at York St John.
Our events and activities will provide you with support during your studies, and introduce you to new experiences, new cultures, and new friends.
Events are built around 4 key themes:
- Environment and sustainability
- Global campus - culture and faith
- Health and wellbeing
- Learning, opportunities and growth
From jobs fairs and craft sessions to lunchtime takeovers and cabarets, there's something for everyone.
