Last year the UK government announced its intention to increase tuition fees each year in line with inflation, from 2026 onwards. They have set out fees for the 2026/27 academic year. We expect these to apply to University of York students enrolled in September 2026.

Following successful campaigning by York Students’ Union, students with children travelling within the campus bus freezone now no longer have to pay for their child’s fare.

1. Finalists: it’s time to give your feedback
|
The National Student Survey (NSS) is now open to all final year undergraduates. It’s your opportunity to give fair and honest feedback on your experience throughout your time at York. Your comments are read at all levels of the University, letting us know what we’re getting right as well as areas for further improvement. Check your inbox for more information - including details of the prize draw to win graduation packages or up to £100 in vouchers!

2. Study outside your subject?
|
On many programmes at York, you have the opportunity to step outside your degree by taking a module in a different department - we call these ‘elective modules’. You could work in a multi-disciplinary team to tackle sustainability challenges or choose a language option. Find out about studying beyond your department.

3. Celebrating student volunteering
|
Celebrate National Student Volunteering week by checking out UoY Volunteering on Instagram for stories about the amazing impact our student volunteers make in the wider community. You can also get involved with our team-based Community Projects! Volunteer with a local partner to tackle a real-world challenge, developing project management and leadership skills whilst making a difference in York. Opportunities include:
|
- Leading digital storytelling workshops with young people
- Engaging local residents to shape the City of York’s tourism strategy
- Designing a social media campaign celebrating wellbeing, compassion and community for Millers Yard

4. Marking LGBTQ+ History Month
|
Every February, LGBTQ+ History Month aims to increase the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and raise awareness of the community's history, lives and experiences in education, culture, and society. The theme for this year’s LGBTQ History Month is ‘science and Innovation’. Join in with events such as ‘Unheard voices: exploring marginalised experiences of eating disorders’ and ‘Sorting humanity: Can trans people save the world? See also the York SU LGBTQ+ History Month events.

- Year of the Horse Celebration | Monday 16 Feb from 3pm
Experience the colour, sound, and flavour of Lunar New Year through thrilling live Qilin dance, traditional music, authentic food, and interactive crafts. Try calligraphy, create your own lantern, and soak up the festive atmosphere.
