PhD History of Nineteenth-Century Britain

The PhD in Nineteenth-Century British History is an advanced research degree, awarded on the basis of a thesis and an oral viva voce examination. The primary purpose of the PhD is the preparation and presentation of a substantial piece of independent and original academic research, completed in three years if studying full-time and usually six years if studying part-time. There is also the possibility of early submission in cases where the student makes particularly rapid progress.

There is an enormously broad range of possible thesis subjects in Nineteenth-Century British History, including the era’s rapid and disorienting transformation of economic and social life, its literary and scientific brilliance or cultural and religious uncertainty, or its halting and uneven but increasingly unmistakeable development of a form of political democracy. Given sufficient evidence to illuminate it, almost any aspect of the history of Nineteenth-Century Britain may potentially form an appropriate focus of study. The definition of the PhD subject is an iterative process, and it is usual for the candidate’s first thoughts on the topic to be modified in the course of the first year of study.
