Philosophy Department
Philosophy Department
All postgraduate researchers, once registered, are added to the Department’s York Print Plus (YPP) account. This allows you to print, scan, and copy at any YPP device on campus, with the cost charged to the Department, but must only be used for legitimate academic purposes and in accordance with copyright law.
There are kitchen facilities in the department for the shared use of staff and postgraduates. Here, too, are pigeonholes for all staff members.
The Department has a library budget. You should make requests for library acquisitions to the library officer, Owen Hulatt.
PGR study room
PGR study room
In the department, on the ground floor opposite the main admin office, is a room just for Philosophy PGRs (room A/012). Here you can relax, catch up with each other, do quiet work (there are laptop docking stations) and enjoy easy access to the department kitchen. There is a code for the lock on the door. Please ask any member of the support staff for the code.
Humanities Research Centre (HRC)
Humanities Research Centre (HRC)
The Humanities Research Centre (HRC), housed in the Berrick Saul Building, provides a spectacular place of interdisciplinary belonging for arts and humanities academics and postgraduates. The HRC is much more than a building: it is a dynamic, friendly and forward-thinking community of research staff, postgraduate researchers, postdoctoral scholars and academic visitors.
Space is available for you to work and to meet other postgraduates in the humanities. The Postgraduate Study Area is spread over two floors and has beautiful views across the lake and into Spring Wood. Facilities are spacious and state of the art; the Study Area is wireless and is open 24 hours a day. Printing, photocopying, and scanning facilities are all available on the YPP device located in the study area. PhD researchers using the Postgraduate Study Area regularly may apply to have their own desk, providing a base for their research which is free of distractions but in amongst the postgraduate community. Hotdesking space is also available. You can contact the administrator at hrc-admin@york.ac.uk.
