University of York- Friendly little town

Tips: Great city to live in, extremely friendly people, very safe, very beautiful, with a river in the city and a campus lake! International scholarships are available when applying; focus on classes and coursework, but also join societies and attend their events to make friends. Go to the library to study.

Likes (Safety): York is a fairly safe city. Not many incidents on campus, and even late nights in the city are very safe. Never had any incidents. The campus safety team is also prompt and usually comes on time when called. Their cars also move around the campus to ensure safety.

Dislikes (Indian Food): York doesn't really have many good, authentic Indian restaurants, and the ones that do are pretty expensive for a student. Good for once in a once-in-a-while treat, though. I tried Kalpakawadi, which was really good, on my birthday. There are other great places for student meals like shawarmas, pizza, and burgers.

Best academics, but career growth depends on self effort.

Tips: Look, the uni is great for the academic side of things, obviously, but you've gotta realize that landing a job or an internship is basically just down to you. It takes a ton of networking and just... putting yourself out there constantly. My move over was smooth enough, but the weather and just the general lifestyle change was a massive shock to the system, especially without any scholarships or anything like that to lean on. You honestly have to take charge of your own career from day one—applying for everything and just constantly building up your skills. The uni gives you the basic stuff like job boards and some advice, but at the end of the day, the hard work is really just on you. Adjusting to the cold and everything takes time, especially if you're dealing with health stuff, and you just have to learn to be way more independent and handle the day-to-day on your own. It does get easier once you've got a routine sorted, but yeah, it’s a good experience for exposure as long as you're actually getting out there and making it happen. It's just a lot of work.

Likes (Indian Food): Honestly, you won't really struggle to find something familiar to eat here since there's just so much Indian, Asian, and even Middle Eastern food all over the place. If you're grabbing a takeaway, you're usually looking at around £15 to £20, while a sit-down meal at a restaurant is probably more like £20 to £30. Groceries are everywhere too, and the prices vary quite a bit between stores, so cooking for yourself is actually a pretty solid way to keep your costs down.

Dislikes (Internships): Opportunities exist but are not easy to access for international students. The university offers guidance like CV review ad job portals, but most of the efforts are self-driven. Internships in the field are highly competitive and securing one requires early preparation and consistent application and strong networking.

Peaceful, education-friendly, cooperative, and always up to the expectations.

Tips: Never assume York is a cheap place; actually, it's not. It's located in a small village, so you won't find many job opportunities. But if you're someone who's only going to study, this is the best place. It has a very beautiful lake and a huge campus where you don't feel any noise or disturbance.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very nice and cooperative. They try their best to make us learn, understand, and master our subjects. Also, they let us share our ideas roughly and help us polish them and present them nicely. Lecturers are always available to listen and clear doubts either via email or in person.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The recent immigration rules have made it so difficult to get a visa sponsorship for any job, plus most of the time they reject applications to stop migration. Also, a post study work visa is expensive plus they have shortened the time span, too. All these make permanent settlement a big challenge.

New learnings for new beginnings.

Tips: I experienced a cultural shift, since it is a Western country, and we will experience a huge cultural shift. But you will feel good and learn a lot. I got a personal scholarship from my university since I performed well in my undergraduate studies. I am completely satisfied with all the things.

Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee for my course is justified. I had good and well-mastered lecturers from whom I gained a lot of knowledge about my course, and also I should speak about the campus safety, where every single person who studies at that university is taken care of.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of companies that are offering visas for work. But it all depends upon how you perform in your academics and actively apply for jobs. As a student, you can work up to 20 hrs per week in any role, and you can get to know about the opening from the university portals themselves, where you'll be paid up to 900 pounds per month.

Part-time work opportunities in York are plentiful because it's a tourist destination.

Tips: It’s a beautiful, pleasant town. And the university was a good choice for my area of study. Students must be careful while choosing the place they wanna live in according to their preferences. It’s definitely not easy to live in a whole new place, leaving family and home. Part-time work opportunities in York are plentiful because it's a tourist destination. Students should be able to get good tips because the restaurants are usually busy. They also have the chance to work at stores and malls in the city centre, where commissions are paid on top of the base wage, providing an added incentive to perform well.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I personally wouldn’t want to settle in the UK as their healthcare system isn’t great. If you have a really high-paying job, then maybe it’s a good choice. But it’s not easy to manage the cost of living there as it’s too high. And kids won’t be getting any citizenship until 7 years old, which is another con.

BA (Hons) Social and Public Policy (Ethics and Justice)
at
York University
Highlights

A BA in Social and Public Policy (Ethics and Justice) will enable you to understand and improve societal responses to social problems and disadvantage, both nationally and internationally. You'll receive a thorough grounding in core social sciences, including sociology, social psychology, politics and economics and use what you learn to explore why making successful policies is so complex, why patterns of inequality persist and what more can be done to address social problems.
By combining your degree with a minor in Ethics and Justice, you will also explore related foundational issues in ethics and political philosophy. You’ll consider the diversity of human needs and sources of inequality, analyse the social, political and economic context in which they exist, and engage with broader philosophical questions about value and social justice.
