Our recent graduate, Samriddhi, shares her experience of applying for the York Award, the lessons she learnt along the way, and her advice for anyone who is considering applying. 💭

"The York Award challenged me to think beyond simply listing my achievements. It encouraged me to recognise the skills I’d developed, the impact I’d made and how my experiences had shaped the person I wanted to become."

Good news to start a new week! 👇

We're delighted to share that our final Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Award of the academic year 2025/26 goes to our postgraduate student, Alexis, for "Outstanding Postgraduate Student Contribution to EDI through Organisations" in the category of inclusivity and access. 👏

Alexis has been a positive and active presence within the student community and the School for Business and Society's EDI committee was very impressed by Alexis's continued commitment to EDI through her role as our local CIPD Student Representative and as a student on our MSc Human Resource Management programme.

Congratulations once again, Alexis, on behalf of the EDI Committee at the School for Business and Society at York! 🎉

EDI Committee: Melanie Kreye, Fabien Baugard, David Rowe, Chidozie Umeh, Ali Naqvi and Juliet Kele.

Meet Cameron and Hayden. 👋

They’ve been studying for an MSc in International Business at York, and have spent this summer on a work-based, applied dissertation - working on a live consultancy project for a specialist insurance company in the City of London. 🚀

The School for Business and Society’s work-based, applied dissertation is the closest our courses come to the real world, so join Cameron and Hayden as they travel down to London to meet the client and spend a day inside the industry they’ve been studying and working with.

Cameron summed up the experience by saying: “This project was the perfect bridge between graduating and landing a graduate job - real-world experience I’d never had before. It’s given me so much confidence and, honestly, it’s been the best part of the whole Masters degree.”

We're excited to launch SMIF|talk. 🚀

A free online seminar series connecting the Student-Managed Investment Fund community - on investment, education and SMIF practice - hosted in partnership with the Griff Investment Fund.

SMIFs are a unique form of experiential learning. There are now hundreds of SMIFs around the world, but few opportunities for people involved in different funds to meet, exchange ideas and learn from one another.

📅 6 Oct | 3 Nov | 1 Dec
🕡 6.30pm
💻 Online
✅ Everyone is welcome
