About The University of York

The University of York is a member of the Russell Group of research-intensive UK universities. The recent Research Excellence Framework (REF) confirmed the position of the University among the leading institutions in the UK for research. The proportion of research activity of world-leading, 4* status is among the highest of any UK university, and York is rated tenth out of 155 higher education institutions for the impact of its research. The University’s highly interdisciplinary Department of Theatre, Film and Television was founded in 2006, and moved into a superb, £30m purpose-designed facility in 2010. We are now seeking to enhance our research and teaching in discipline-specific fields while strengthening and expanding our interdisciplinary work across interactive media, film, television and theatre.
