Overview
The Department can offer doctoral supervision on topics in a variety of early medieval languages and literatures (Old English, Old Norse, Medieval Welsh, Medieval Irish, Insular Latin), in the history of a comparable range of geographical areas (Anglo-Saxon England, Scandinavia, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, and Scotland), as well as in palaeography.
Features

- Those with relevant master's qualifications who are admitted into the PhD programme are registered for the degree towards the end of their first year if progress has been satisfactory.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- All PhD students are assigned a supervisor and an adviser. The supervisor and student are expected to meet approximately eight times per year.
- The adviser will be involved with the registration assessment at the end of the first year and formal advisory meetings annually thereafter.
