You can access course content and study anytime, anywhere on a variety of mobile devices so you have the flexibility to earn a Masters degree at a world-class, Russell Group university while balancing your studies around business and personal commitments.

Is there technology support available to students?

Yes, technology support is included in the programmes.

To make progressing through your programme easier, you will be instructed on how to access and use the online portal as part of your first module.

How much are the tuition fees?

Tuition fees are set for the degree programme and are fixed for the duration of your programme. You can choose to pay in full at the start of your programme or pay pro-rata as you select each module. Module fees are calculated pro-rata based on the number of academic credits each module is worth. Each module is worth 15 academic credits, or a multiple thereof, to a total of 180 credits.

Tuition fees for the current academic year can be found on the tuition fees page . Fees for new starters increase annually in August. The University reserves the right to alter the level of fee.

If you’ve successfully completed an undergraduate degree at York you could be eligible for a ten per cent Masters fee discount .

You may be entitled to a Government-backed loan to help fund your Masters study.

You should be prepared to pay for additional items such as textbooks and PC equipment in order to complete your studies.

When are tuition fees due?

When you select your first module you can choose either to pay for your whole programme in advance, or to pay for each module separately.

You need to pay your tuition fees before the registration deadline for each module. Paying your tuition fees early will give you access to pre-learning materials and study skills modules.

You can’t access learning materials until you’ve paid your tuition fees. If you miss the deadline, you will unfortunately not be able to start your module/programme.

How can I pay my tuition fees?

When you choose your first module you will decide how to pay for your course. You can either pay for your whole course in advance, or pay pro-rata as you select each module. You can’t change your decision later.

You must pay your fees online, using a debit or credit card. Alternative payment methods are not currently available.

What is the refund policy?

  • Refunds will only be made after payment has been received.
  • If you pay-per-module, you have 8 days after module start to withdraw from your studies and receive a full refund of the tuition fees you have paid for that module. After this time period no refund will be made.
  • If you withdraw part way through the programme after paying in full, you will receive a refund for any modules not yet started.You will also get  a refund for the current module, if you withdraw within 8 days of that module starting.
  • All refunds will be made to the credit/debit card that was used to originally pay the fees online.

Which software will I need to be able to access to study an online computer science MSc?

You’ll need to be able to access widely used software to complete the computer science MSc programmes. We’ll provide you with access to what you need through our Virtual Desktop or other online services. If you prefer, you can download and install your own versions where possible. There will be no additional cost for access to software or tools required for successful completion of this course.

You’ll need to be able to establish a VPN connection for the Cyber Security programmes. This (and access to the virtual desktop service) may be restricted by local legislation and practices in the location in which you are studying.

There are no specific technical requirements to complete this course though it is recommended that you have access to a PC or Mac that is five years old or newer running a supported version of Windows or Linux. You should also have access to a stable internet connection (min speed 1 MB/S), particularly if you are unable to download and install software.

In general there are no issues supporting overseas students, other than the usual legal issues around exporting encryption software to certain countries, and potential issues around “hacking tools” in certain countries.

Will I need to buy textbooks to complete my studies?

In addition to paying tuition fees, you should be prepared to pay for textbooks for your online Masters programme. These could be e-books or physical textbooks.

How is the programme structured?

Your programme comprises 180 credits in total, of which 150 are taught and 30 are for your own independent research project. Each taught module is worth 15 credits and comprises seven weeks of teaching and, for most modules, one week for final summative assessment. At the end of your programme, you will undertake an independent research project which is worth 30 credits and lasts 16 weeks. Your programme is designed to be completed in two years of part time study (18.75 hours per week), studying one module at a time. You will therefore study six modules per calendar year unless you take a break.

How is teaching delivered?

All of the teaching for your programme will be delivered through Canvas, an online learning management system. You will study one module at a time and each module will be made available to you at 9am (UK time) on the start date for teaching for that module. Each module is offered on rotation and your Student Success Coordinator will provide you with your schedule of modules and will also contact you prior to the start of each module to explain what happens next.

Within each module, you will participate in weekly activities which could include reading chapters from academic textbooks and journal articles and watching short educational videos, including micro-lectures. Depending on your area of study and the module learning outcomes, you will also be expected to participate in a variety of other activities including simulation exercises, reflective blogs, discussion forums with staff and other students, and analysing case studies. All teaching is asynchronous, so you don’t have to log on at a particular time.

How is the programme assessed?

To pass each module you will be required to submit at least one piece of summative assessment. You may also be expected to undertake formative assessments, which won’t contribute to your final mark but will help you develop the skills and understanding needed to do well in your summative work. The type of assessment you do will depend on the programme but may include essays, exams, and practical applications of your learning such as case study reports and computer programming.

What if I need to take a break from my studies?

Your programme is designed to be flexible, allowing you to take time out between modules if your other commitments are likely to get in the way of successful study.  Your Student Success Coordinator will be able to advise you on how to take a break and when missed modules will next be available for you to take. Taking a break will extend the length of your programme.

Support and advice

You may need to 'check-in' to your teaching sessions.

New for the 2023/24 academic year, Check-in is a digital support tool that helps us identify more quickly if it looks like you may be struggling or experiencing difficulties. If it looks like you're not engaging with your studies, we will reach out with guidance and support. 

checkin.york.ac.uk

How does Check-In work?

At the start of on-campus timetabled sessions, you are given a code by teaching staff which you’ll need to enter into the Check-In system: checkin.york.ac.uk .

https://youtu.be/ahAPqzLs50s?si=W40l1_eqMaF3HEYk

Related links

  • Student Hub
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Success at York Toolkit
  • On your computer or mobile device enter the URL: checkin.york.ac.uk
  • Enter your University email address and password (and Duo authentication) if prompted.
  • Once logged in, you will see a list of that day's sessions. To register your session engagement, click the green Present button attached to that individual session.
  • Enter the code provided by teaching staff in that session into the box at the top of your screen.
  • You will then see confirmation that you have successfully registered at the session (the green Present button will turn into a green tick).

Please do not share codes outside of the session. By giving out the code to others who have not attended a session, it may stop us from recognising where there is a genuine need to provide support and help.

What counts as a teaching session?

Check-in at on-campus timetabled sessions such as:

  • lab sessions
  • Independent Study Module project meetings

Some departments don't use Check-In - see below.

All departments are expected to use Check-In from September 2023 with the exception of the following where separate, agreed arrangements are in place:

  • CPD students
  • Postgraduate researchers (though 1st years will need to check-in to taught classes)
  • PGCE students
  • International Pathway College
  • Hull York Medical School 
  • York Online
  • Lifelong Learning

Certain programmes may require engagement above the baseline of two engagement points per week, particularly if they are subject to Professional Statutory and Regulatory Body requirements.

What if I can't attend a teaching session?

You should attend all timetabled sessions unless informed otherwise by your department. However, we understand that from time to time there are good reasons why you cannot attend a timetabled session. To report your absence, follow the existing processes in your department (see your departmental handbook) or use   e:Vision   for self-certification.

Will I be penalised for not attending sessions?

Make sure you know of any sessions that are compulsory to attend, especially if there are Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies (PSRBs) requirements for your course. You must attend those sessions.

However, we know students have different learning styles and requirements. Before any action is taken,   engagement data will always be contextualised   to take into account additional information such as Student Support Plans and exceptional circumstances.

We strongly encourage students to make every effort to attend all timetabled teaching sessions. 

What happens if my attendance is below expectations?

Student engagement is monitored over a five-week period. 

  • If engagement is below the baseline expectation, you will receive a supportive email from your department encouraging you to increase your engagement and giving you details of all support available. You don't need to respond directly to the email.
  • If your engagement does not improve over the next five weeks, or there is no exceptional reason for low engagement, your Department/School administration team will ask you to get in touch to discuss your continued absences. Student support services will also get in touch to offer support and advice.

Student visa holders have always been required to engage with their studies as a condition of their visa. Continued low engagement could result in your visa being withdrawn, as has always been the case. We will make every effort to make sure this does not happen. Very few students are withdrawn due to low engagement, particularly where there are mitigating circumstances. 

Support and help

If you have any problems using Check-In, please contact your departmental admin team.

Technical support

You will need to have a device in order to access Check-In as it is a web-based tool. There are a number of options available for getting access to devices:

  • The Library runs a   Laptop Loan scheme   with over 100 short-loan laptops to borrow for up to four hours (available from the University Library, King’s Manor Library and Library@Piazza) and also 20 long-loan laptops which you can borrow for up to seven days.
  • You may also be eligible to apply for funding for equipment through the University’s   assistance funding . Please contact staff in the   Student Hub   for more information about this.
  • IT Services also provide information about   discounts available to students buying laptops and PCs .

Teaching staff and departmental admin teams are able to check students into the Check-In system on behalf of students, where necessary, but this is something that you would need to discuss with the member of staff leading the session.

We always recommend that you use the latest version of your browser to access Check-In. For students who have University Google accounts, we would also suggest using Chrome to have the best experience as this will always be available and updated. If you have an older device or no device at all, you may wish to take advantage of the Library’s Laptop Loan scheme .

Teaching staff can add students into Check-In after the session has finished, so make sure you let them have your details before you leave.

No, you need use checkin.york.ac.uk   to register your engagement. We’ll be looking at access via the MyUoY app in the next phase of the project.

Teaching sessions

The Check-In code will lapse at the end of the teaching session to enable students to record their attendance even if they are late. The code will usually be shared at the start and end of the teaching session. If you encounter any problems, please contact an administrator in your department.

No, it will not affect your record. If a member of staff has cancelled a session, it will be removed from your timetable and therefore will not show up in Check-In.

Sessions that don't take place due to industrial action will not affect your record.

Check-In is not designed to be a punitive system. The purpose of Check-In is to support student welfare and wellbeing by making the University aware at a much earlier stage where students may be experiencing difficulties and are not able to engage with their programmes.

Data access and collection is agreed through the Check-In Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) to meet our record retention schedule and will not be kept for longer than is necessary or viewed by those who do not need it as per GDPR regulations. Access to the central database will be locked down and managed by the operational owner. Reporting in Check-In is only available to all teaching staff and a small number of professional services staff who require it to provide welfare and wellbeing support.

The University is the only organisation that will be analysing and acting on the engagement data collected. The supplier of the system (and their data hosting partner) will also have access to the data in order to provide this service; however this data is secured and bound by the University’s procurement contract and Data Protection agreement. This means the data cannot be sold or transferred and will not be used by anyone other than the University.

Student FAQs

Please speak to your lecturer or a member of the departmental admin team in the first instance about what adjustments they can make. For example, staff are able to check-in students where students may be struggling to do so themselves.

Attendance at timetabled teaching sessions is an essential part of the student learning experience on all courses at the University. Much of the curriculum content of courses is conveyed through timetabled teaching sessions. Such sessions also give students opportunities to interact with academic staff and other students about course-related themes and issues. We therefore encourage students to make every effort to attend the majority of all in-person timetabled teaching sessions.

However, we do understand that students learn in different ways due to personal preferences or due to circumstances that need to be accounted for in Student Support Plans (SSP). Students with a SSP in place will have this taken into consideration before receiving an email from their department to check in about their welfare and wellbeing.

Phase 2 of the project will look to include digital engagement within Check-In but for now the focus is on physical engagement. 

Student Visa holders will follow exactly the same process for registering their engagement at teaching sessions as all other students.

The procedures for Check-In are primarily focused on full-time taught students. Part-time learners are not required to meet the attendance requirements set out in the procedures; however it is still helpful for part-time students to use Check-In so that departments can keep an eye on engagement from a welfare and wellbeing perspective.

The threshold will be based on your scheduled events which will vary depending on your year of study and department.

Students will receive communications from their home department.

Whether it's a simple question or more in depth support, there's a variety of help on hand for you while studying at university. The Student Hub is a first point of contact for support and advice about a range of issues regarding finance and money, private sector accommodation, health concerns, immigration advice, academic progress issues and more.

Our health and wellbeing help and support page lists different support services, both within the University and beyond, who can help with personal matters.

Please also reach out to the departmental admin teams or your academic supervisor if you need help and support on academic issues.

Future developments

The 2023/24 academic year sees the initial phasing in of the Check-In system and it will be developed over time. For example, we are looking at adopting online study, including watching lecture recaptures, as an engagement point in the future.

Although Check-In has the functionality to report absences and for you to see your own engagement, we’re not using these features in the first year of roll-out until we can make sure that it works for all departments and users.

Give us your feedback Look out for a student survey at the end of Semester 1 - let us know about your experiences of Check-In so far and give us your priorities for the next phase of development.

The Essential York Interview Guide

12 September 2022 by Sophie

An interview for university can be one of the most daunting aspects of applying, but it doesn’t need to be. Interviews are your chance to shine, they are simply a way for the university to see what type of person you are, not just what’s on paper.

So, t he big question is, how should I prepare for an interview, and what should I expect? Here’s a student-approved guide on interviews at York. 

Before the Interview 

Preparation is a key part of feeling confident and successful at your interview.

1) Plan your day

Once you receive your interview date and time, you should plan how you will get here (if it is in person). You should think about what time you need to arrive by and whether you need to book accommodation. This is especially important if you are not nearby to York and are planning on using public transport . When booking your travel and accommodation, I’d recommend building in some time in case you encounter any delays. By planning your day in advance, you’ll be able to focus purely on your interview, with no added stresses.

You should also set some time aside to plan your interview outfit. Although this may sound trivial, the power of a good outfit that you feel confident in shouldn’t be underestimated! Y ou want to be smart but comfortable for your interview. However, you should still feel like yourself. York is a diverse place with lots of different types of people, so the main thing is to come to your interview feeling at ease in whatever you choose to wear. 

2) Knowing your stuff

Once you’ve planned your day, it’s time now to do a bit of interview prep. This might sound obvious, but make sure you re-read your application; including your personal statement, any essays you wrote, and any books you read and referenced. This will bring these ideas to the front of your mind, so you can expand on these points when asked.

It’s also a good idea to look up the course you’ve applied to and research any knowledge surrounding the subject. Whether it be recent events, articles, or things done by the university, a bit of research will go a long way! Your department is looking for you to be enthusiastic and passionate, so knowing about the subject you want to study will really help you impress in your interview.   

3) Practice and preparation

If you’re feeling nervous before your interview, you should consider doing a bit of practice.  Mock interviews can be a really helpful tool in combating nerves, whilst also perfecting any talking points you’d like to bring up in the real interview. Your teachers may be able to help you with this, or failing that, a friend might like the chance to play the role of interviewer!

Knowing what to expect from your interview will also help you feel more prepared. If you do a quick search on the University of York website and student forums , you’ll find out more about what you’ll experience on the day, as well as the types of questions you might be asked. Of course, your interview won’t be exactly the same as those in the past, but you can use others’ anecdotes to help you practice and gear your mind in the right direction. 

4) Finally, the interview!

On the day, not only will you have your interview, but you might also have the opportunity to explore the university campus and speak with faculty members. Think of this as your chance to interview the university, as well as them interviewing you!

  • Arrive on time : Try to be as punctual as possible, but don’t worry if you are delayed, these things happen!
  • Be engaged: Throughout the day, try to stay alert and enthusiastic. My most important tip is to ask questions, as this shows your interviewers that you are interested and have been paying attention.
  • Breathe and pause : if you’re faced with a difficult question, just take a minute to breathe and compose yourself. You’ve got this.
  • Don’t worry about not knowing something : If you’re asked something you don’t know, don’t stress. Asking for an explanation and clarification won’t look bad, in fact, it will show that you’re willing to learn.

Your university interview can seem like the most daunting and important part of applying to university, but it doesn’t need to be. Think of the three P’s: Plan, Prepare, Practice. If you feel confident going into the interview beforehand, then you know that you’ve done all you can, just let yourself and your love for the subject shine through.

York wants you to have a good experience here, so enjoy the interview and the entire day. No one is setting you up to fail, they only want you to succeed. So, try to relax, breathe, and enjoy the experience . Before you know it, you’ll be holding your dissertation in the air, wondering where those years went!
