Overview
The primary purpose of the History of Modern Europe PhD degree at University of Buckingham 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.
Features
- There is an enormously broad range of possible thesis subjects in Modern European History, ranging from high politics and international diplomacy to social relations and material culture in any part of the continent from the eve of the French Revolution to the end of the Cold War.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- PhD students undertake supervised but independent research, at the end of which they submit a thesis embodying the results of that research.
- The length of the dissertation should not be fewer than 70,000 words and no longer than 80,000 words of text (excluding the thesis-abstract, appendices, footnotes, tables, and bibliography).
- This thesis must demonstrate familiarity with, and an understanding of the subject, its principal sources and authorities. It should display critical discrimination and a sense of proportion in evaluating evidence and the judgements of others.
- A PhD thesis must embody an original contribution to the knowledge of the discipline either by the discovery of new knowledge or by the exercise of a new and independent critical approach.
