Events for School Leavers

We hold Tasters Days each academic year to enable students in Year 11 to spend the day at York College and find out more about the subject choices available to them after GCSEs.

These days are an opportunity to come and experience a day in the College environment and try some of the exciting subjects that we offer, to help them make an informed choice about their next steps.

Booking is required in order to attend and students can only book to attend on one of the dates.

Our Year 11 Taster Days in January 2025 have now taken place. Our next Year 11 Taster Days will take place in January 2026. Full information and how to book with be available in September.

If you weren't able to attend our Taster Days this year (January 2025) please don’t worry. We still have lots of opportunities for you to find a course to study with us in September, including our next three open events:

Monday 10th February 2025, 5.30pm – 8.00pm
Tuesday 1st April 2025, 5.30pm – 7.30pm
Thursday 19th June 2025, 5.30pm – 7.30pm

You can also find out information about the types of courses here, and about course information for the different subject areas here.

You can submit an application for the College via our website on the Apply page.

For all students holding an offer of a place for September, we will be holding an event during the summer term to which they’ll be invited. This will be another opportunity to visit the College during the day to take part in activities, meet fellow students and get to know the campus, staff and facilities ahead of starting with us after the summer break.
