Distance learning

The Department offers a Distance Learning (DL) option for the PhD programme on a full- or part-time basis for students who are unable to live in York. We recognise that many students are unable to join us in person and as an institution that strives for equality, diversity and inclusivity we view the DL option of a PhD to be an essential component.

The PhD (Distance Learning) programme starts with an immersive online induction that helps you become part of our York family. York offers a vast range of online training for Distance Learning students and training will be tailored to your needs. York also has an excellent suite of services specifically for distance learning students including:

• 1. 1. Dedicated support for distance learners

     2. The Writing Centre, helping to support distance learners with their academic writing skills

     3. A dedicated Library Liaison Officer to support in ensuring distance learning students can access the range of materials required

     4. Distance learning Methodology and Methods courses
