The Black Access programme supports the progression of Black students from their first year of further education (for example Year 12, Level 3, Year 1) into university through tailored events and activities.
The programme has been designed by students at the University of York in collaboration with the Access and Outreach team. This approach allows you to learn from the experts - current students!
We welcome applications from students from a Black background, who are currently attending a state school, sixth form or college. See our full eligibility criteria at the linked webpage.
Please note that applications close on Tuesday 7 December but students can apply at any point before that deadline. Application form for Black Access can be found here -
