York University was founded in 1959 and has grown into one of Canada's largest universities, with more than 50,000 students across its campuses in Toronto and Markham. It is known for its Schulich School of Business, one of Canada's leading business schools, for Osgoode Hall Law School, and for social sciences, fine arts and the Lassonde School of Engineering.

The main Keele Campus in north Toronto is a large, self-contained campus with its own subway stations on Line 1, so downtown Toronto is about 40 minutes away by train. Glendon Campus in midtown offers bilingual (English and French) programmes, and the Markham Campus, opened in 2024, focuses on technology, business and entrepreneurship programmes.
