In this course, we offer supervision across a wide range of research interests at both our Streatham Campus in Exeter, and Penryn Campus. The size and scope of our department means we offer research supervision across a wide range of subject areas from the early medieval period to the 20th century. It also means we have a truly global reach, covering Britain, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the Americas. We have research interests in British, European and world history, with expertise in economic and social history, local history, maritime history, religious and cultural history, medical history, and political history. Members of the department are committed to interdisciplinary approaches and have strong links with colleagues in Arab and Islamic Studies, Archaeology, Classics, English, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Politics, and Theology. Joint supervision for PhD students can be, and often is, arranged with these subjects and others within the University. We aim to ensure that each student receives an effective and appropriate level of support, through both tailored research training and regular research supervision. Each student has a first supervisor, second supervisor and a mentor. There is regular contact with the first supervisor and a formal discussion of progress each term. There is a meeting at least once a term with the second supervisor or mentor and more frequently if the need arises. We are committed to ensuring you receive high quality research supervision to maximise your potential and prepare you for a rewarding career. Postgraduate students have access to the wide range of support offered by our Career Zone. In addition, postgraduate research students can access our Postgraduate Researchers' Programme, which covers a range of topics to help you to succeed during your research degree and to act as a springboard for your research career.
