Research programmes (MPhil, MLitt/PhD)
We welcome and encourage applications for postgraduate degrees by research. In addition to topics focusing on single research areas, we actively encourage interdisciplinary research that cuts across the spectrum of historical studies, or other intellectual disciplines in the Faculty of Arts and beyond. Joint supervision may be provided.
Research groups
See our departmental research groups for more information on how our research activity is focused within Historical Studies.
Skills training
You will also benefit from the Graduate School of Arts and Humanities' skills training programme, which allows you to extend your range of academic and professional skills. You may also be given the chance at an appropriate stage to teach undergraduates, and you will be offered training for this purpose, leading to formal accreditation.

Graduate School
The Graduate School of Arts and Humanities is the central hub for postgraduate study in the Faculty of Arts, providing support, information and a vibrant community for our students.
Did you know?
The Graduate School offers scholarship opportunities and other financial aid to Arts applicants on both taught and research programmes.
You are able to study a vast range of topics from Medieval architecture to German Modernism, which is great for students like me who do not want to specialise just yet.
