OK, new website there. I've built it in 2 days from scratch, so there will be a few bugs.
However, I am having a serious issue with CSS. On Firefox, looks fine. On IE, hang on a sec, no image on the left. What's with that?
Also, how do I make the left border 100% height so it always stretches down the screen? Or failing that, how do I ensure that the background is always longer than the menu - if I add more list items on at the moment, the background doesn't get any longer so u have white buttons on white background.

Try adding height: 100% to the body tag, as I think the element is collapsing due to all the absolute positioning. You may also need to alter the z-index property on a few elements as well, as follows:
#header add z-index: 2;.
#sponsorbox change from z-index: 1; to z-index: 3;.
#bannerbox change from z-index: 0; to z-index: 4;.
#menucontainer add z-index: 1;.

I've yet to see a decent University website.
The Uni I was at ([URL]http://www.apu.ac.uk[/URL]) used to be decent, then they changed it. The student area with the results, timetables, etc. is even worse. I did a few web design modules there for some easy credits, and they were horribly out of date - we got as far as basic tables, didn't even touch tag attributes. The web graphics module consisted of a bloke showing us his bad designs made in Dreamweaver and Flash, and bestowing the practice of importing as many images as you can, then hitting 'Publish To Web', negating any sort of care for if it actually loads well/fits on the screen/conforms to standards/looks good.
Just a disaster.

From a non technical point of view... That is more professional than the actual York Uni website. Which brings me onto the subject of our last departmental board of studies meeting; the Uni IT department is looking for students (from all departments) to contribute ideas etc to help with the current website...
