Postgraduate research is at the heart of History at UEA. We represent one of the largest concentrations of historians in the UK. As a diverse community of scholars, we welcome applications for advanced study in our many areas of interest, which range from the Middle Ages until almost the present day. Most postgraduate research (PGR) students in our School are pursuing a PhD, though we offer MA by Research and MPhil degrees as well.
PGR students in History and Art History benefit from the resources of a research university, the intimate and interdisciplinary community of our campus, and the scope and flexibility of the CHASE consortium, which allows us to pool strength and expertise from across southeast England. PGR students run a successful seminar series and contribute to our wider intellectual life. We support research travel and the development of the research skills you need.
There is no typical UEA History PhD student. Our students are full-time and part-time. Our graduates pursue careers in academia, in the heritage sector, and in a wide variety of other fields; some come to us after having had careers. Our School’s origins were untraditional and interdisciplinary, and this continues to shape our outlook: we are justly proud of our local links and the role of our researchers and students in our region, but we are international scholars, committed to global partnerships and perspectives.
The most important thing for a prospective PhD candidate is to find an appropriate supervisor. For more information on our research and on the areas in which we are happy to offer research supervision, please see our Research page.
Enquiries and How to Apply
We encourage enquiries from prospective students. Please email your potential supervisor and/or the School's Postgraduate Research Director, Dr Oren Margolis at O.Margolis@uea.ac.uk, to discuss your proposal.
Studentship Funding
Applicants to our PhD programmes are eligible to apply for AHRC-funded CHASE studentships. For information about these please consult the Arts and Humanities Graduate School page, which also outlines the training and support that PGRs receive as members of the Graduate School. Other studentships, generally in the form of Collaborative Doctoral Awards, are sometimes advertised
