PhD History with Genealogical Studies

University of Strathclyde

The University of Strathclyde’s History Department will consider PhD candidates who have a research topic with a genealogical focus.

The PhD in History with Genealogical Studies is a research area within History but with co-supervision by staff from the Strathclyde Institute of Genealogical Studies, giving you the opportunity to undertake a PhD with a distinctive genealogical dimension to it. (There is scope to do a joint PhD with other departments within the University e.g. Forensic Science. Contact us for details.)

Within the UK, a PhD is a research degree that you can study full-time over 36 months or part-time over 60 months, culminating in a thesis built on original research up to 100,000 words in length.

Students are expected to undertake research that results in a thesis which contributes to the wider literature in the field, thereby making an original contribution to current knowledge. During your research and writing the thesis, you will gain a range of professional skills in research methods, communications, presentation, organisation and other academic specialisms.

All Postgraduate Research Students within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences are members of the Graduate School and have access to facilities, events, and funding opportunities.
