Postgraduate study

Postgraduate courses

We extend a very warm welcome to prospective, new and postgraduate students. We aim to provide a supportive and stimulating teaching and research environment for our thriving body of postgraduate students, who can study a variety of programmes and for a number of different degrees.

We are internationally recognised for our research in the fields of economic, social, business, financial, gender and medical history. We have

• Full Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) recognition for all of our taught masters programmes and our doctoral programme
• Gained more ESRC quota awards in economic and social history over the last 5 years than any other UK university
• Received generous funding from the Wellcome Trust to fund postgraduate research in medical history
• A large community of PhD students (currently over 25) housed in excellent facilities in the Department
• Particularly praised in the 2002 QAA subject review of History for the quality and quantity of feedback to students in the taught postgraduate programmes
