Postgraduate research degrees

About the project

We collaborate. We innovate. We shape moments of change.

Find a research degree

Postgraduate research is where years of dedication come to fruition.

Applying knowledge, curiosity and creativity you’ll search for answers to today’s most pressing questions. You won’t just learn new concepts, you’ll contribute to the discovery of new ideas that could shape what future generations learn.

There will be challenges along the way; but with our support, you’ll embrace these and grow because of them. Although you’ll have the freedom to work, learn and develop as an individual, you’ll be part of a larger community with a shared vision for public good.

It’s this shared vision to make the world a better place which drives us. If it drives you too, we’d love you to join us.

Research at York: a catalyst for change

Discover our research

Start with a Masters

A PhD isn't the only option if you're passionate about research.

A Masters by research will enable you to work towards a Masters degree without completing taught modules. Although you might attend some classes, you'll get to focus on an independent research project.
