Course summary

Our PhD in History by Practice is an innovative route for anyone with significant experience of public history practice or research in a range of settings such as in museums, archives, heritage organisations, the media or education.

Your research

You’ll explore your own interests, supported by training in a wide range of research methods, in a department which is a national centre for public history teaching and research. Our Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past (IPUP) has spearheaded research at the intersection of scholarship, practice and public engagement.

Our staff offer a broad range of research and supervisory expertise, and our partnerships with organisations such as the Science Museum Group, the British Library and The National Archives, provide additional professional supervisory and examination capacity.

You’ll be examined on a portfolio that draws upon an area of public history practice, such as an exhibition, documentary or participatory community project (please contact us to discuss if your area of practice is suitable). As well as this, you’ll submit a related thesis of 50,000 words.
