Practical work science and some arts andsocial sciences involved in laboratory work,field work or computer assignments.
One of the key differences betweenuniversity education in the UK and othercountries is the number of contact hours,since they are intended as a starting pointand focus for a great deal of individual study.Supervisors and course tutors are always
ready to give advice on study methods andgeneral guidance to you in planning yourstudies but a high degree of responsibility lieswith you to organise your time effectively.
Assessment
Methods of assessment vary betweendepartments and from module to module.The most common methods are essays
written especially for assessment,assignments written during the module andclosed examinations. Seminar performanceand class contributions may also be takeninto account.
The University has implemented aCommon Assessment Period in the SummerTerm between weeks 5 and 8 in whichall registered students are involved. Itis sometimes possible for a departmentto provide an alternative assessment ifyou leave before the normal assessment
period for that module but this is subject todepartmental approval and must be arrangedas part of the application process.

What students say
In Britain they focus primarily on one
subject in university rather than the liberal
arts approach at the University of Denver.
I was overwhelmed by the history that
surrounded me while I was in Britain. Strolling
through York I was constantly amazed by the
intertwined architecture changing each block
from medieval to renaissance to modern,
back to medieval. And to think of how long
the town had existed, it simply made my jawdrop. Because of the British friends I made,
and the experiences we had, I found myself
living British culture, not just learning about it.
My time in York is something that I will always
treasure, for it has changed my perspective, my
friends, my speech and my life.
JIM, USA
I had a wonderful term in York. The British
educational system is hardly comparable to
the system I am used to. First of all there are
fewer contact hours at York and we had a lot of
time for reading and preparing for the lectures
and seminars.
I lived in university accommodation which
was really good because it was pretty easy to
get in contact with other students right from
the beginning.
In the first week we had no lectures or
seminars and had a lot of informational
meetings to get to know the University as well
as our supervisors and the contact person in
the International Office. This was really helpful
because it was clear that if any problem
occurred, there would be someone to help,
which is especially useful if one is from a
different country.
JANINA, GERMANY
By coming here I have learned so much about
matters that have nothing to do with papers
and books. It is true that, by studying English
Literature books play quite an important part
in my life but by leaving the comfort of my
own country I can say that it has opened up a
whole new world to me.
It is not all about taking what the University
gives you, you have to give something yourselfin order to make the most of your year abroad.
Studying here has proved to be one of the
most challenging and wonderful experiences
of my life.
