Both PhD and MPhil programs entail carrying out research under faculty guidance and presenting findings in a thesis. PhD candidates typically enroll for three years (or six years part-time), whereas MPhil students complete their degree in two years (four years part-time), involving a comparatively smaller research scope. Prospective students should select between our two PhD tracks according to their academic focus: applicants aiming to pursue studies at the York Neuroimaging Centre or specialize in cognitive neuroscience should opt for the PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, while those interested in other psychology disciplines should consider the PhD in Psychology. Faculty advisors can provide personalized recommendations regarding the most appropriate program for each applicant.

Qualification Requirements

As part of the online application we require a research proposal. We are not looking for a fully worked out 3-year research programme, but we need a summary of the topic that you propose to address that includes key previous research in the area, a statement of your broad aims and specific questions, and some information on the methods that you propose to use to tackle the questions. Research proposals are typically 2-3 pages in length and should be uploaded as word documents in the 'research proposal' section of the online application. We expect applicants to formulate this proposal in consultation with the staff member who will potentially supervise the work. For this reason, it is important that you contact a potential supervisor to discuss your research plans before submitting a formal application , Once your application has been received, we will interview you to determine your suitability for a postgraduate research degree.
