University Radio York

URY, based on the Heslington Campus is a station run by students for students. Pioneering independent radio in the UK, URY began life as a student's hobby in 1967, assuming full-time broadcasting status the following year. Since then it has continued to grow, developing its studio facilities and resources, and gaining the respect and professionalism which can be heard on-air today.

United Nations Association

The UNA looks to increase awareness of the United Nations and of international politics generally. We run weekly discussion groups on current affairs issues, with past topics including peacekeeping in Darfur, disaster relief in Myanmar, and the global fight against HIV-AIDS. We also offer members the opportunity to attend national and international Model United Nations conferences at other universities. In the past we have campaigned to raise money for charities such as UNICEF. Contact una@yusu.org to be added to our mailing list!

University of York Go Society

Go is a board game similar to chess that is played throughout China, Japan and Korea, with a history stretching back 3000 years. The aim of the game is to surround as many points on a 19x19 grid as possible with your playing pieces, whilst preventing your opponent from doing the same. The rules can be learnt in ten minutes, but the game takes a lifetime to master. Everyone is welcome, especially new players! We teach anyone, and organize trips to tournaments around the country. For more information on Go, see http://www.britgo.org/intro/intro.html .
