Course Overview

The PhD Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging at University of York is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about improving patient care. Based in York, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 3-year full-time and part-time structure. Our research postgraduates work closely with leading researchers in their chosen field and their projects are often published in top international journals. We regard a research degree as an apprenticeship, providing training in the knowledge and skills required to be an independent researcher. You will specialise in a relatively narrow subject area and conduct novel research to advance our knowledge of that area, meaning that by the end of your degree you are an expert in your topic. International tuition fees are £30,950 per year, home/UK fees are £5,181 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £28,000 within three years, and a 95% continuation rate.
