Our History PhD programme is a three-year course of study (or six years of part-time study) that enables you to carry out a piece of in-depth research in the area that most interests you. You will prepare an original thesis under the guidance of two supervisors with specialist expertise. Your progress is monitored at regular meetings of your research panel. This composes of two supervisors and an independent reviewer. They also provide training and career guidance. The aim of the programme is to turn you into a fully-fledged independent researcher. You will be encouraged from the outset to disseminate your work at seminars and conferences and by publishing in high-quality locations. The programme culminates in the submission of an 80,000-word dissertation that makes an original contribution to historical knowledge. As a postgraduate researcher in the History department, you will join a large and lively research community. We have over 40 established members of staff engaged in research, often in ways that help to re-shape their fields, and there are also many historians working in other departments and research institutes across the University.
