Hello AlyaLeka thank you for your response and the link 5) Is there more value for a PhD from YorkU or from UOIT ; or is it what you make of the learning and research ?. Does the name of the University play an important role in adding "value" to the PhD. any thoughts on this or others on this board ? Confused in Toronto!

hi guys, I'm just joining in ...I have just received two offers: Offer 1: from York U for the PhD in comcult (part time) (no funding) Ofer 2: from UOIT for PhD Computer science (fulltime) (possible funding) My background is Bachelor of Engineering (Industrial engineering) + Masters of Design (Industrial Design) My interest is to do a PhD in ComCult or CS with a slant on HCI linking industrial Design and usability. I believe that there exists a fantastic relationship between design, the process of design and ComCult discipline I am also a full time teacher at a college teaching Industrial design Dilema: 1) Is it really possible to do a full time PhD course (@ UOIT in CS) while having a full time job as a teacher? 2) I do not have any formal training in CS (I have done some programming in my engineering days 22 years ago) , hence my concern whether I would be able to cope up with the courses in CS at UOIT ? 3) with the PhD in communications and culture at York U , there are some conditions where I need to take a couple of MA level courses and manage a B+ to qualify for the PhD program, which is also another stressor. 4) York U is only 15 kms (one way) from home , while UOIT is 80 kms (one way )from home? Hence, not able to decide which one of these two offers to take Is there a value for a PhD from YorkU or UOIT or what you make of the learning and research ?. Confused in Toronto
