SUCCESS STORIES
Some of our graduates tell us their highlights and achievements as they reflect on their time at York St John University. I am a traditional artist and illustrator, and my work is inspired Yorkshire. I’ve developed my pieces into an extensive range of items, which are available in a growing number of independent stockists and galleries across the UK. I left York St John University as a confident, well-rounded individual, able to jump straight into working for myself and running my small creative business full time. York St John supported me to get there with the help of the wonderful teams and amazing illustration lecturers, as well as the general support from everyone across the University.

Biodiversity We’re proud to have a biodiverse campus. We’ve introduced tansy plants to support the endangered tansy beetle. These are only found around the River Ouse, which flows through York. Our campus also includes: • Habitats for hedgehogs
• The majority of our vehicles are now electric. • We’ve made our buildings more energy efficient by introducing triple glazing into new and refurbished buildings. • We’ve introduced LED lighting across campus to save energy. • We’ve changed our heating systems to reduce energy consumption.

Waste management • None of our waste has gone to landfill since 2016. The small amount that cannot be recycled is used to generate energy. • All of the green waste from our campus is recycled by our Grounds team through composting and used on our sites. • Our food waste is used to generate biogas for energy and low carbon fertiliser. 43

Foundation
YORKSJ.AC.UK
YEARS A Foundation Year prepares you for degree level study. It gives you the confidence and skills needed to make the most of your course. This option is ideal if you don’t yet meet the minimum requirements for entry straight onto a degree course, or feel you are not quite ready for the transition to Higher Education.
You’ll choose a specific course when you apply, but you have the option to move onto one of the other degree courses related to the Foundation Year if you change your mind. Minimum entry requirements for a Foundation Year are: • 48 UCAS points • GCSE English Language at grade 4/C (or equivalent) We offer Foundation Years in: • Education, Children and Counselling • Law and Social Sciences • Liberal Arts (this could lead to a Humanities, Social Sciences or Languages and Linguistics course) • Psychology • Sport • Business
