OVERVIEW
If you are a graduate in a humanities subject or similar discipline, this History MPhil, PhD and PhD by Published Works programme offers an excellent route to expand your knowledge and research skills. Successful defence of the final thesis will provide the researcher with the highest qualification that any UK university can award and offer an excellent opportunity to move into higher management positions within the industry.
Course Details
This History PhD programme is a way for you to absorb yourself a topic you are passionate about, develop a deep understanding of your chosen specialism and improve your research, written and presentation skills.
While developing and setting up a research project, you will initially receive general, discipline based and project specific training so that you can go on to conduct your research work effectively and independently. Your supervisors will guide you through the process with regular in-person or online tutorials. When you finish this course, you will be able to find research and development roles within fields related to your topic, such as the heritage sector, progress into an academic career or enter business at a managerial level.
You will be supervised throughout your project by historians who are specialist in their areas of research, who are experienced at supervising PhD level projects and who will advise you on what additional activities you need to complete to achieve your goals.
We normally ask you to have a recognised first or upper second-class honours degree or Master’s Degree from a UK university or International equivalent in a relevant subject area. Students with lower-level qualifications or qualifications in a different subject area, but relevant experience will also be considered on an individual basis. All suitable candidates will be required to attend an interview as part of the selection process.
