illustration, and documentation which apply in the profession.
The thesis should be submitted by the end of the period of full registration and certainly not later than one year after the end that period. In exceptional circumstances and on the recommendation of a student's supervisor and of the departmental Graduate School Board, the Board for Graduate Schools may allow an extension of up to two further years for full-time students, and up to three years for part-time students. Students who extend their registration beyond three years full-time or six years part-time will be placed on the 'long-term register', for which a continuation fee is payable.
Programme Structure
- Candidates must pursue a total of nine terms of full-time study (or eighteen terms part-time), under the direction of a designated supervisor and Thesis Advisory Panel. The University of York has adopted learning outcomes for doctoral programmes based on the Joint Research Councils' Skills Training requirement.
- Candidates funded by the Research Councils are required to participate in a personal development programme and to undertake a minimum of 30 days generic training throughout their period of full registration.
- These training opportunities are also available to students not so funded, and they are strongly recommended to pursue them.

English requirements
General requirements
For research programmes, you must submit your research proposal with your application. This should:
- outline the research question you intend to explore and explain its significance
- discuss what else has been done in this sphere and how you intend to build on these foundations
- indicate the sources of data/evidence that you plan to use and its availability, plus the related methods of analysis
Obviously, some of these matters, especially the last, may not have been decided yet and will develop further anyway during the course of your research - this is just to set out a starting point. We recommend that you seek advice from your potential supervisor (i.e. the member of staff who shares your research interests) in constructing this opening proposal.
