Overview
The aim of the History programme is to produce students who are fully-fledged independent researchers, and students are from the outset given encouragement to disseminate their work at seminars and conferences and by publishing in high-quality locations.
The programme culminates in the submission of an 80,000-word dissertation that makes an original contribution to historical knowledge.
Career opportunities
Most of The University of Manchester PhD students aim at an academic career and we have an excellent record of helping them obtain teaching and/or research posts in UK and overseas universities. In recent years, our doctoral graduates have gone on to positions at many universities in the UK and overseas; they include Aberystwyth, Huddersfield, Keele, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, New York University, Nottingham, Ohio State University, Oxford, Oxford Brookes, Sheffield Hallam, Simon Fraser University (British Colombia), the University of Virginia, Lazarki University Poland Ryokoko University, Japan, and University College London.
At the same time, PhD students, if they make the most of the opportunities available to them, develop a portfolio of skills that made them highly desirable to other employers, from the civil service to think-tanks, from museums and archives to large business organisations.
