The goal of the History PhD programme is for the finished doctor to be able to independently conduct scientific historical research, as well as work within areas such as teaching, management, the arts sector, media or publishing.
Around 20 PhD candidates at the Department study a vast variety of historical areas and periods. Together, they make up a large portion of the department's research.
