Ph.D. Programs Dual Degree Programs

Department of Computer Science

University | A to Z | Departments

Computer Science

• Postgraduate study
• Research Degrees

PhD in Computer Science

You will be based in the Department of Computer Science overlooking the lake on Campus East .

You will benefit from modern offices and collaboration spaces, and well-equipped research labs with a specialist in-department team to support your requirements throughout your studies. 

We will provide you with a laptop connected to the University network, and you will have 24/7 access to your desk and workspace. Distance learning students are allocated a work desk for the duration of their stay while they are in York.

For on-campus researchers, most of your training and supervision meetings will take place on campus at the University of York, though your research may take you further afield.

PhD by distance learning

We offer the opportunity to study for a PhD by distance learning. This is available to students based in the UK and abroad, studying full-time or part-time. Our PhD by distance learning offers the same high quality of supervisory support (primarily online), and demands the same level of academic rigour as a campus-based PhD.

You will undertake your research and thesis production remotely, joining us on campus only occasionally. You will be expected to visit York at your own expense at the following stages of your study:

• Two weeks at the start of enrolment for induction, to meet your supervisor and your research group, and to meet other PhD students;
• Two one-week visits each year at important stages ('milestones') of your study (the number of visits is reduced accordingly if you are a part-time student);
• You will normally attend your PhD viva in person.

When you are not in York, you will continue to benefit from regular supervision meetings using online communication platforms, such as Zoom. Read more about how we support distance learners .

Are you an international applicant? It is important for you to note that it is your responsibility to meet any requirements for legal entry into the UK at the time of each of your visits. While the University and Department can provide supporting letters, the University cannot make any guarantees regarding entry visas or legal residence.  Read more about applying for a visa.

Entry requirements

Undergraduate and masters degrees.

The PhD in Computer Science is intended for students who already have a good first degree in Computer Science or a related field.

For entry to the PhD programme, we require at least a 2:1 undergraduate degree, or a qualification equivalent to a UK Masters degree with a minimum average grade of 60%.

We are willing to consider your application if you do not fit this profile, providing you are able to demonstrate that you have the required amount of Computer Science knowledge and experience to succeed on the programme.

English language requirements

If English is not your first language you must provide evidence of your ability.

Find out more about English Language requirements for research degrees

How to apply

Find a potential supervisor.

You should find a potential supervisor in our Department whose area of research overlaps with yours. We encourage you to contact them to discuss your research proposal before you apply. Please identify the name of your potential supervisor in your application.

On our Research web pages, you can explore our research groups which reflect the core research strengths and expertise within the Department of Computer Science. On the web page for each research group, you'll find more information about the aims and objectives of the group and the names of group members. You can use this information to identify the groups where research interests match your own.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact [email protected] .

Submit your application

We require you to submit the following documents:

• Research proposal
• Academic transcript(s )
• Your curriculum vitae (CV)
• Personal statement
• Details of two academic referees

Your research proposal needs to outline the nature of your proposed study and give some indication of how you will conduct your research. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that you and your potential supervisor(s) have matching research interests.

Your proposal can build on your chosen supervisor's area of work and may be prepared with the help of your chosen supervisor. It should be about 500 to 1,000 words in length, in English and in your own words. Read more about writing a research proposal .

You can apply and send all your documentation electronically through our online system. You don’t need to complete your application all at once: you can start it, save it and finish it later.

After you have applied, you can track the status of your application and view any official correspondence online. If you have applied for an advertised scholarship, decisions on funded places may take a little longer.

Applicant interviews

If we are impressed by your full application, personal statement and references, we will invite you to interview.

The interview panel will be made up of your potential supervisor(s) and another independent academic. During your interview, it is important that you demonstrate an understanding of your chosen topic and its supporting theories.

For students based outside the UK, interviews are held online via Zoom. Applicants based in the UK are offered the opportunity to attend their interview in York. If you choose to attend in person, your visit will include a tour of the Department and its facilities.

Post-eclipse eye clinic on April 8 will be staffed by UB ophthalmologists and ophthalmology medical residents

For safe viewing, they share essential eclipse safety tips

By Ellen Goldbaum

Release Date: March 26, 2024

Abhiniti Mittal, MD, a medical resident in ophthalmology at UB, will be one of the physicians staffing the post-eclipse eye clinic on April 8.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Many Western New York businesses and most K-12 public schools will be closed on April 8. But for any eclipse-related eye injuries that might occur, University at Buffalo physicians will be operating a special post-eclipse eye clinic that day.

The post-eclipse eye clinic will be open from 4-9 p.m. on April 8 at the offices of UBMD Ophthalmology/Ross Eye Institute at 1176 Main St. in Buffalo. Walk-ins are welcome. For any eclipse-related eye injuries, call 716-881-7900.

“We want to help the Buffalo community and visitors have a safe eclipse viewing experience, but we also want to be here for the community if there are any injuries,” says James D. Reynolds, MD , Jerald and Ester Bovino Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB and president of UBMD Ophthalmology/Ross Eye Institute.

UB ophthalmology medical residents will staff the clinic under the supervision of several UB Department of Ophthalmology faculty members, including Brian Madow, MD , PhD, director of the retina service at UBMD Ophthalmology/Ross Eye Institute, and Andrew L. Reynolds, MD , clinical associate professor of ophthalmology and residency program director.

“The goal is to provide the community with an after-hours eye clinic dedicated to triaging and evaluating eclipse-related eye concerns,” says Abhiniti Mittal, MD , a UB ophthalmology resident who is one of the physicians staffing the clinic.

She explains that while it is rare for such injuries to occur, the major eye-related concern that could result from looking at the sun during the eclipse without proper eye protection is called solar retinopathy.

“A lot of what we know about eclipse safety as a specialty comes from understanding optical principles and general eye safety guidelines,” Mittal says.

“Prolonged, high-intensity light exposure can lead to photomechanical damage to one’s retina and subsequently cause blurry vision and blind spots,” she says, adding that cases of solar retinopathy have been reported around the world after solar eclipses.

“In these cases, patients commonly present with vision changes a few days after viewing the eclipse without eye protection, but our clinic will be open the day of the eclipse for people with immediate concerns about their vision,” says Mittal. “Most do recover vision within a few months, but a severe injury can have more prolonged effects.”

James Reynolds has compiled some do’s and don’ts for avoiding injury on April 8:

·       Do make a viewing plan and practice all viewing techniques ahead of time.

·       Do supervise children. Pre-K children are at higher risk.

·       Do NOT view any part of the sun with the naked eye.

·       Do wear special eclipse glasses ISO 12312-2 for all direct viewing.

·       Do consider taking off your own glasses when wearing eclipse glasses.

·       Do consider using indirect viewing techniques as explained on the Buffalo Museum of Science eclipse website .

·       Do NOT use binoculars or telescopes.

·       Do consider removing eclipse glasses ONLY for true totality — in Buffalo from 3:19 to 3:21 p.m. Do not remove eclipse glasses if there’s even a sliver of sun showing.

A complete timeline for safely viewing the eclipse in Buffalo is at https://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2024/03/UB-ophthalmologist-Buffalo-solar-eclipse.html .

Mittal, a Buffalo native, notes that staffing an eye clinic in her hometown during a once-in-a-century total solar eclipse is quite special.

“It’s definitely a very rare experience that most other residencies and specialties don’t experience,” she says. “We’re hoping to get an even better understanding of solar retinopathy at a pathophysiological level after this, particularly with advancements in retina imaging.”

Mittal adds: “Since a lot of people are visiting from out of town and may develop symptoms days or weeks after the event, we recommend that they continue to monitor with their local eye-care provider.”
