The University of York[7] (abbreviated as Ebor or York for post-nominals) is a public collegiate research university in York, England. Established in 1963, the university has expanded to more than thirty departments and centres, covering a wide range of subjects.
South-east of the city of York,[8] the university campus is about 500 acres (200 hectares) in size.[9] The original campus, Campus West, incorporates the York Science Park and the National Science Learning Centre, and its wildlife, campus lakes and greenery are prominent. In May 2007 the university was granted permission to build an extension to its main campus, on arable land just east of the nearby village of Heslington. The second campus, Campus East, opened in 2009[10] and now hosts five colleges and three departments as well as conference spaces, a sports village and a business start-up 'incubator'. The institution also leases King's Manor in York city centre. The university had a total income of £515.5 million in 2023–24 of which £100.4 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £379.4 million.[1]
York was one of the first of the plate glass universities established in the 1960s, and runs a distinctive collegiate system, which currently consists of eleven colleges.[11] The eleventh college, David Kato, opened in 2022.[12][13] The university is a member of regional research groups including the N8 Group and White Rose University Consortium as well as the national Russell Group.
