About York University
York University is a public research university located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1959, it has grown into one of Canada's largest universities, with over 55,000 students studying across its Keele and Glendon campuses.
York is known for its research output, its bilingual Glendon campus, and its strong international community, with students coming from more than 160 countries. The university's main Keele campus houses most faculties, including the Lassonde School of Engineering, the Schulich School of Business, and Osgoode Hall Law School—one of Canada's oldest and most respected law schools.
York University is one of the top public universities in Toronto, Canada, and is ranked #=322 in the QS World University Rankings 2027 — a rise from its previous placement, reflecting continued growth in areas like academic reputation, employer reputation, and international research collaboration. As with any ranking, positions are updated annually, so it's worth checking the current QS rankings for the most up-to-date figure.
Being in Toronto also means students get access to one of North America's biggest job markets, a huge co-op and internship network, and a cost of living that, while significant, comes with far more part-time work opportunities than smaller Canadian cities.
