MPhil and PhD in History

Course Overview

All students engage with our Researcher Development Programme (RDP). The RDP aims to develop and enhance the skills, both generic and specific, that you will need to complete your research degree and also to become an effective researcher. The RDP is organized around thematic clusters, consisting of modules, and workshops, delivered face-to-face by subject specialists from across the University and the dedicated Researcher Development Team, or online through our virtual learning environment.

As part of the RDP, you will complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methods (PG Cert). All students must complete the PG Cert in order to progress on their MPhil/Ph.D. Program. The PG Cert is strongly focused on developing your program of research, starting from establishing your development needs and preparing you for the planning and subsequent delivery of your program of research.
