Why Choose a Creative Career in York? 

​

In York, there are over 500 thriving creative and digital businesses.

​

York also has an enviable number of museums, galleries and arts companies that attract audiences from far and wide. Talented students and graduates from York created many of these companies which contribute so much the success of York. Did you know...

​

  • Revolution Software is one of the UK’s most successful games software companies, with the classic Broken Sword having reached five episodes and Under a Steel Sky eagerly awaited by gamers worldwide.
     

  • Viridian FX provides the special effects in blockbuster Hollywood films and independent productions working from studios in the historic heart of York.
