The University of York (also known as York University) is a campus university in York, England. It is ranked by most studies in the top ten universities in the UK, coming second in the 2001 Daily Telegraph university league table and first for the quality of its teaching in official government assessments. In 2003, the Sunday Times named it "university of the year", the first time the broadsheet had examined universities on their non-academic merits, as well as its academic ones.

Its thirty academic departments teach around 9,000 students. The main campus is on the outskirts of the city, next to the village of Heslington, but the university also uses a number of historic buildings in the city centre. There are currently on average nine applications for every place and a very low dropout rate of 4% (only Oxbridge, Bristol, and UCL are lower http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,8404-1246752,00.html).
