York St John University is a dynamic and ambitious institution at the heart of historic York, known for its commitment to widening participation, academic excellence, and community impact. We are one of the fastest‑growing universities in the UK, with a strategy that places inspirational learning and applied research at the centre of everything we do. Our students benefit from a supportive, inclusive environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, professional development, and meaningful engagement with real‑world challenges.
Law is a growing and dynamic part of York Business School. Our LLB programme, launched in 2018, has developed rapidly, and in 2020 we established the York St John Law Clinic, which gives students hands‑on experience in providing legal advice under the guidance of experienced staff. The Law Clinic is embedded within our teaching, enabling students to apply legal principles to realistic cases, build practical skills, and gain confidence in professional practice. Across our programmes, we emphasise skills development, employability, and placing law in context to support analytical, critical thinking, and problem‑solving abilities.
