York College is a further and higher education college in York, England. It offers A-levels, AVCE, HND and NVQ degrees. It is an associate college of the University of York. In September 2007 Clifton College closed down and merged to form the new York College

History

It was founded as the Mechanics’ Institute in 1827. The college was established in its present form in 1999 by a merger of York Sixth Form College and York College of Further and Higher Education, which had been known as York College of Arts and Technology. A major redevelopment of the former Sixth Form College site began in 2005, and the present campus opened in September 2007.
