School of Business
York University’s School of Business and Society combines innovation with academic depth in a campus environment that buzzes with energy. The programs here attract aspiring leaders and managers who want more than textbook theory—they’re after opportunities that blend rigorous study with practical application, preparing them to navigate the complexities that modern business environments demand.
Opening Up the World
Study abroad programs weave international experience directly into the curriculum, which means students don’t just read about global markets—they live them. Engaging with different cultures builds the kind of cross-cultural fluency that transforms someone from a competent professional into one who can work confidently across borders, understanding not just business principles but the cultural contexts that shape them.
Nurturing Future Leaders
An optional placement year lets students step out of lecture halls and into real industry settings, where management theories meet practical challenges. This combination of academic foundation and hands-on experience creates graduates who enter the job market already familiar with workplace dynamics, giving them an edge that purely theoretical training simply can’t match.
Riding the Wave of Excellence
University of York holds 16th place in the UK for Business and Management according to the Complete University Guide 2024. Faculty bring both scholarly credentials and industry experience to programs designed around technical skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Students access diverse practical opportunities—from UK placements to international programs—including work in a modern trading floor that mirrors corporate environments, developing the accounting and finance capabilities that employers actively seek.
