Course location
This course is run by the School for Business and Society.
You will be based in the Church Lane Building on Campus West. Most of your training and supervision meetings will take place here, though your research may take you further afield.
You should live in or near York during your PhD programme, whether part-time or full-time. We do not offer distance learning arrangements.
Entry requirements
For entry to the PhD programme, you should have (or expect to obtain) a minimum of a 60% average on a Masters-level programme, with a good mark on your dissertation.
If you haven't completed a Masters degree or appropriate research training, you may wish to consider our MA Social Research.
