Overview

The usual period of doctoral study is three years, though the University’s Regulations also permit candidates who make particularly rapid progress to apply to the University Research Committee for permission to submit at the end of their second year of study.

Features

Each Tudor History student at University of Buckingham is allocated, two supervisors. There is a First (or Principal) Supervisor, who is the student’s regular guide during his or her research, and with whom the student meets regularly throughout the year.

There is also a Second Supervisor, whom the student may consult on a more limited basis where a ‘second opinion’ on a particular draft chapter may be helpful.

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.

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.

Candidates spend a considerable part of their studies undertaking supervised research, at the end of which they submit a thesis embodying the results of that research.
