Course content

The History discipline covers a broad range of the political, social, economic and cultural history of the UK and the rest of Europe from the late Middle Ages to the 21st Century, with additional expertise in colonial and post-colonial history. It has particular strengths in policing and crime (embedded in the International Centre for the History of Crime, Policing and Justice), 20th-century international and global history,(supported by the University’s multidisciplinary Ferguson Centre for Asian and African Studies), and British and Irish history. We welcome applications from students interested in studying full- or part-time for a PhD in early modern, modern, and contemporary history.
