Postgraduate Research

Postgraduate research is a central and exciting part of History's research culture. Comprised of our MRes, MPhil and PhD students, the postgraduate student community forms an important and lively part of that culture. The recent appointment of new research-active staff, as well as the introduction of the MRes in 2009, have contributed to the significant expansion in PGR numbers: History's PGR community is thriving. We offer a stimulating environment for discussions of research, for instance at History's regular Staff-Postgraduate research seminars. Students participate in the full range of on-campus research and are seen as valued members of History and the Department of Humanities.

Our History PhD and MRes students are studying a diverse range of topics. Please click on the MRes and PhD students links on the left for more information on our current students and further details on their research. If you are interested in commencing postgraduate study, please contact Dr Charlotte Alston, who will advise you which colleague is closest to your own interests.
