Psychology is the scientific study of mind, brain and behaviour. Here at York, we teach psychology as a rigorous experimental biological science, helping you to develop an analytical approach to problem solving and an in-depth understanding of human behaviour.
Our BSc in Psychology is led by researchers of international repute producing world-leading research with the aim of benefitting all sectors of society.
At York, we offer a wide choice of courses that cross the globe and take in nearly 2,000 years of history, from the fall of Rome to the present day. You’ll uncover the complex dynamics that have shaped past societies and tackle key issues that have driven human history, from state formation to cultural politics.
The Department of English and Related Literature has a huge choice of modules, giving you the freedom to tailor your degree to your interests with the support of friendly and accessible tutors. From Greek and Latin classics to present-day literature, there’s something for everyone, including creative writing, drama, fiction, film, poetry, and the chance to get your hands dirty in our printing studio.
At York we offer five exciting Archaeology degrees offering different perspectives and specialisms in the discipline. All courses share a common first year, after which you'll specialise, choosing from a range of modules on your chosen degree.
All of our undergraduate courses are accredited by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA). The Department is based in King’s Manor, a beautiful medieval building in the centre of York. We also have fantastic facilities on the main University campus including world-leading Bioarchaeology facilities, our Palaeohub with state-of-the-art labs and our outdoor Experimental Archaeology centre.
Our Biology course is a flexible and broad-based degree that covers biomedicine, biotechnology, genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology. This course is ideal if you want an interdisciplinary approach to biology, or wish to specialise at a later stage. You will have a wide range of options to tailor the course to your developing interests. All of our undergraduate courses are accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
Our newly created School of Arts and Creative Technologies spans music, theatre, film, television, interactive and emerging media. We combine educational excellence and vocational relevance through our industry links.
