Explore the depths of human expression and understanding with a PhD in Humanities at the University of Wolverhampton. This advanced research programme delves into diverse disciplines, fostering critical analysis and innovative thinking. Join a community of scholars pushing the boundaries of knowledge and creativity.

  • PhD students in the Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences are supervised by academics who are leading experts across a range of areas in which they have researched, worked and published. At least one academic in each supervisory team will have a track record of successful supervisions and all supervisors will have taken part in the universitys PhD supervision training.
  • The School prides itself on the levels of support provided to postgraduate research students in the course of their PhD journey. Our academics are committed to their subject areas and meet regularly with their supervisees to work closely with them at all stages of the project, from inception to completion.
  • The University of Wolverhampton provides a collegiate research environment and first-class facilities to its PhD students, including a dedicated postgraduate research room, use of the Universitys Harrison Learning Centre and access to key Social Science databases and journals. Where necessary, staff will also support PhD students with gaining access to other sources of information necessary for their doctoral studies.
  • Postgraduate research students are encouraged to present their research to University academics and fellow PhD students through hosting research seminars. Again, this is an area where our supportive and knowledgeable PhD supervisors are happy to support and advise where needed.
