History of running a school

1960s, under the influence of the Robbins Report, the British government decided to democratize British higher education for nearly a hundred years, so a series of famous flat glass universities appeared, such as Warwick University, Bath University, Sussex University, Lancaster University and Surrey University.

York University is one of the new flat glass universities in Britain. When 1963 was founded, only 230 students were enrolled. At that time, the university was composed of three buildings, mainly the King's Manor (formerly the residence of Thomas Wentworth, once the headquarters of the Northern Committee) and the Hurlington Hall (formerly the residence of Thomas irons, the secretary and seal officer of the Northern Committee). From 65438 to 0964, York University began to expand the Heslington campus, forming the main part of today's university.
