Course Summary

A PhD or MPhil in History enables you to undertake a substantial project led by your own passions and interests. The PhD takes three years full-time or six years part-time, and the MPhil takes two years full-time or four years part-time. You submit a thesis of up to 100,000 words for PhD assessment and 60,000 words for MPhil assessment. This is followed by an oral examination of the thesis (a viva voce examination, or viva). In both programmes you will conduct original research, supervised by our expert, culminating in a thesis that makes an original contribution to our knowledge and understanding of the past. We specialise in Medieval, Early Modern and Modern History including British, European and Global History. The research of our staff and postgraduates is integral to the life of the department, making Swansea a dynamic and stimulating place to study. The Department of History organises a large number of seminars, conferences, and other research activities which you are able to attend to enhance your research project
