About York U

Photograph of Dr. Shoukri York University is a dynamic, interdisciplinary academic community of researchers, teachers, graduate and undergraduate students from over 155 countries. 

York University is now Canada's third largest university, world-renowned for attracting students who forge their own unique paths. That's because York offers an unparalleled academic experience.

Our unique, interdisciplinary approach to learning allows students to study their subjects from many different angles simultaneously and allows them to combine majors in completely different fields. This approach expands the horizons of our students, providing them with a broad perspective of the world that opens up new ways of thinking. And our research tackles challenges by taking a uniquely interdisciplinary approach that results in real-world solutions.
