An MD project addresses issues of diagnosis or management in a clinical environment. If you have an idea for a research project that doesn't address these areas, you should consider doing a PhD instead. Visit the programme website for more information
You will register at the university where your principal supervisor works, and you will have access to facilities and support at both our parent universities – Hull and York. All of our degrees are awarded by both the University of Hull and University of York.
Your principal academic supervisor
Before making your MD application, you need to find a member of our academic staff to supervise your research project. Your principal academic supervisor must be employed by either the University of York or the University of Hull. Clinical staff solely employed by the NHS, or Hull York Medical School, are unable to be your principal academic supervisor, though they can act as co-supervisors.
To find your principal academic supervisor, visit our research pages and browse the academic staff pages. Once you find an academic staff whose research specialism matches your interest and proposal, contact them directly to determine if your proposal can be supported.
Programme structure
- The MD can be studied full-time or part-time. Many MD students have existing clinical commitments alongside their studies. The full-time MD is suitable if you can devote a significant amount of study time per week (at least 35 hours) alongside your clinical work.
- If your clinical work is demanding or you have limited study time, you should consider studying part-time. If you have full-time clinical commitments, you must study part-time. Part-time study is at least 17.5 hours per week.
