The breadth of expertise and experience in the History Department (currently forty or so full-time members of staff), along with a thriving culture of research, seminars and conferences, make Warwick one of the very best universities in the UK to undertake research in history. 92% of our research was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent in REF 2021 and our Department achieved a 89% overall satisfaction result in the 2023 Postgraduate Research Experience Survey, one of the highest in the country.
PhD students normally complete their degrees within three to four years of full-time study, or five to seven years part-time. As a research student, your closest contact will be with your supervisor, or supervisors, who will meet with you regularly to discuss your work, and agree a programme of reading, research and writing with you.
Additional support and training, including English language support for those studying for a PhD in a second language, are provided by the Department, Arts Faculty and the Doctoral College, as well as by History’s many reading groups, seminars, workshops and conferences. History researchers benefit from the University Library’s Research Exchange, a dedicated postgraduate conference and study area, with state-of-the-art facilities.
