We are committed to high-quality research in the fields of history, archaeology and heritage. Our researchers explore diverse themes and evidence ranging across the prehistoric and historical archaeology of Britain and Europe and the history of the medieval, early modern and modern periods in Britain, Europe and America. Please note that heritage topics may be supervised via either History or Archaeology at research level, as well as the connected fields of public history and public archaeology. By joining us for an MPhil or PhD degree you will be joining a vibrant and successful research community that is one of the strongest in the University. Research is fostered through regular seminars and meetings where staff and postgraduates meet to hear about each other’s work as well as reflect on the work of invited speakers. Yearly postgraduate conferences offer opportunities for our students to collaborate and present their research.
