是位于英格兰约克市的一所校园大学. 在大部分的研究中为英国排名前十名的顶尖大学, 在2001年每日电讯报大学排行榜中排名第二, 其教学品质在官方评鉴中名列第一。 该校同时被星期泰晤士报列为2003年年度大学。 约克大学为英国白玫瑰大学联盟的成员之一。
该校有30个科系, 教授约9,000名学生。 主要校区位在约克市的郊区,紧临Heslington,但约克市中心也有几个历史性大楼由大学所使用。目前每个入学名额平均有9人申请。
历史Heslington Hall约克大学是英国新兴玻璃平板大学之一, 1963年成立之初仅招收200名学生。 当时大学由3座大楼组成, 主要是:英王庄园(King's Manor, 原为托马斯‧温特沃思的住宅,曾为北方委员会总部),以及Heslington Hall(原Thomas Eynns的住宅,北方委员会秘书和印信保管人)。 一年后,开始拓展Heslington校区,形成今天大学的主要部分。
学院约克大学名义上建立于八所学院,提供学生住宿及一些学术单位。不过,该校的学院更像住宅的大厅一样, 实际上并不像牛剑传统一般对学院向心力特别强烈。依设立日期约克大学现有学院如下︰
•Derwent, 取名自约克郡的德温河
•Langwith, 取名自约克当地一座已废弃名为Langwith的村落
•Alcuin, 纪念查理曼大帝宫廷中著名的约克学者Alcuin
•Vanbrugh, 纪念著名的建筑师John Vanbrugh
•Goodricke, 纪念定居于约克的荷兰天文学家John Goodricke
•Wentworth, 是仅有研究生的学院, 取名自英国内战时期的政治家Thomas Wentworth
•James, 纪念该大学第一任副校长Lord James of Rusholme
•Halifax, 2001/2002学年成立的学院, 取名自第一任哈利法克斯伯爵
除了哈利法克斯学院坐落在靠近Heslington村的边缘上外,其他学院都位于主要校区。Eden's Court住宿区虽隶属德温特学院的一部分,但是住宿学生则使用哈利法克斯的设备。还有几所校外的宿舍: Holgate's Hall, Catherine House及The Stables算是较为知名的。
分区约克大学的校区更普遍地安排成一个个的分区。 除了上述的八个学院构成八个分区外, 其它分区还有:
•生物学区。
•中央大会堂(Central Hall)是举行考试及各类成果展出的会堂
•化学区。
•资讯科学区。
•环境研究区。
•Fairfax House, 学生宿舍。
•Heslington Hall。
•King's Manor, 位于约克市中心区的大学独立建筑, 容纳考古系及一部份历史系。
•图书馆区, 由J。B。 Morrell, Raymond Burton和Borthwick等图书馆组成。
•音乐区。
•物理学及电子学区。
•心理学区。
•体育馆区。
大学系所通常被建置在这些区域之一。例如,数学系被设置在Goodricke学院,政治系在德温特(Derwent)学院, 以及在阿尔昆(Alquin)学院的经济学系。不过,像资讯科学系, 生物系和物理系并未隶属于特别的学院, 而是有他们自己的分区。这些大的系所通常会将他们的讲堂(阶梯教室)借给较小的系所使用。
