Bold questions for brave minds
Sometimes it’s not the answers we find but the questions we ask that sets our research apart.
In our Big Questions feature, our researchers look at issues from a different perspective, to help us see everyday issues in an entirely new light.

At the University of York we don't just observe change; we're a catalyst for it.
We opened our doors in the 1960s, an era of the civil rights movement, anti-war protests and counterculture. Our desire to make changes that improve the world around us was inherent in the University's original mission. It still is today and it will remain so in our future.
As we celebrate 60 years of research that confronts challenges head-on, join us in exploring the future impact our community is driving in the arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences.
