✨ 项目特色

You’ll work with world‐leading academics who’ll challenge you to think independently and excel in all that you do. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.

You’ll be taught in a variety of ways depending on the modules you choose. For most modules, you’ll be in small groups either in a seminar format – discussing issues in depth with peers and staff – or in problem-based learning groups. For some modules, you will attend lectures and plenary sessions where you will be introduced to key debates.

York Law School is located on Campus East. Nearly all of your teaching will take place within the Law and Sociology building or nearby on Campus East.

Our beautiful green campus offers a student-friendly setting in which to live and study, within easy reach of the action in the city centre. It's easy to get around campus - everything is within walking or pedalling distance, or you can always use the fast and frequent bus service.

The forms of assessment differ depending on module choice, but most modules are assessed by an essay written over the vacation following the term’s teaching. You will receive feedback throughout your course, including written feedback on your work during each module and informal feedback in seminars.

Not only are you an active participant to your own learning, you are also part of others and others are part of yours. Working in a group has helped me think in a variety of perspectives that I otherwise would not have thought to do.
