About

The Electronic Engineering PhD programme from University of York enable students to study a chosen area of research with leading researchers in the Department. 

Overview

The Electronic Engineering PhD programme from University of York students are subject to formal reviews of progress. The purpose of formal reviews of progress is to ensure that students are making satisfactory progress with their research project and other elements of their PhD or MPhil programme.  The progress of all research students is continually guided by a supervisor and a thesis advisory panel.

Key Features:

  • These degrees are awarded in either Electronic Engineering or Music Technology following the successful submission of a thesis and subsequent oral examination. The PhD degree is a three year full-time or six year part-time programme. The MPhil is a two-year full-time (or four-year part-time) research programme that is undertaken and examined in a similar way to the PhD, but of a smaller body of work.
  • All PhD students take part in the Departmental PhD Conference held each year.  The two day conference includes a first year presentation session, second year poster competition and third year seminars. These sessions are designed to give students experience in presenting their research - it gives the opportunity to prepare a talk, face an audience, and answer questions. The overall intention is to give research students the opportunity to develop both oral and written communications skills which are essential in a modern engineering environment.

Careers:

Your PhD or MPhil will help to extend your qualifications, allowing you to explore and research diverse areas from creative designing to instrumentation, robotics and automation. You will become equipped with skills around engineering, mathematics, physics and technology and problem solving to become prepared for the next stage in your career.

Our dedicated careers team offer specific support including a programme of professional researcher development and careers workshops and 1:1 career support sessions. They will help you to build up your employability portfolio and to engage in activities that will build up your skills and experience within and outside of your research work.

Programme Structure

  • As part of any application for a research degree you have to name one or more academic staff who could supervise your research. Have a look through the staff list which gives a brief description of staff research interests and use this along with the example projects to identify a potential supervisor(s).
  • Research students are also encouraged to take advanced taught courses in Electronic Engineering to help fill any gaps in the background knowledge required for the research project. The choice of courses taken will be made together with the supervisor, at the beginning of the programme.
