C4 was launched at York in 2019 with the goal
of bringing students together from across York’s
campuses with community and industry experts
who want to partner with us to create powerful
social impact.

C4 wins 7th

ways in which our innovative classroom model

What’s it like
to be in the
C4 classroom?
C4’s concept of working with partners outside of York
to solve real life issues was the selling point for me.
On top of that we get to earn credits, which seemed
like another bonus to participate.
