Important Information

NEW Link to the DEG Wiki Site - please bookmark

The University’s wiki service has now moved over to a new Cloud based version. Click here to view the DEG Wiki on the new cloud version. Please bookmark this for your convenience.

Key Improvements and new features:

  • Logging into the wiki will now use single sign-on like many other University services. This means if you have already recently logged into another service using single sign-on, you won’t need to enter your details again to access the wiki. 

  • Archive pages: if you no longer require a page, you can archive it. This means the page no longer appears in the search, but can instead be accessed directly from the space under the Archive section.

  • Dark mode: you can enable Dark Mode by clicking your avatar in the top right, selecting Theme and choosing Dark Mode.

  • JIRA integration: an improved integration between Jira and Confluence, allows teams to directly create retrospective documents from Jira.

For more information on using the wiki, please visit the Introduction to York Wiki Service (Cloud) page. 

If something isn’t working as it should be, then please contact IT support (itsupport@york.ac.uk


Applications open for summer vacation on-campus internships

Careers and Placements invite academic departments and Professional Services to submit expressions of interest for recruiting students through the York Internships summer programme. Applications will be open throughout February and March. Funding through APP and YCEDE may be available. Find out more via the bottom 'drop-down' on the York Internships web page.

It's a great opportunity to get some extra resource for a specific project whilst supporting students to develop their experience and employability.  We have some great success stories from the Department both in hosting internships and in our students benefiting from internship opportunities within the University and with local businesses.
