Phd in Ancient History

The PhD comprises three years of full time study, at the end of which the candidate will submit an 80,000 word dissertation which should be scholarly, substantial, significant and lucid (consistent with expectations based on what is reasonable within three years of full-time study); and should contain material worthy of publication in some form. A typical doctoral candidate will normally already have a Masters qualification. If you do not have this, we will require you first to complete the MLitt. If you are not sure whether you are qualified to apply for the PhD, please contact the Postgraduate Secretary.The School of Classics is a centre of world-class research in Greek and Latin literature, ancient history, art, archaeology, ancient philosophy and classical reception. Motivated graduates join the School, usually to undertake the PhD (three years), or to take the one-year MLitt, which may be taken as preparation for the PhD or as a stand-alone postgraduate qualification.
