Graduate School

Our Graduate School is the intellectual and organisational home for a vibrant community of postgraduate students. We offer eight Masters programmes, including joint degrees with the Departments of Law and Philosophy, as well as a dedicated research methods Masters that provides the training to undertake a research degree. We also offer MPhil and PhD degrees by research. Full-time and part-time study is available.

From this webpage you will find links for prospective students for Masters programmes, research degrees (M.Phil, Ph.D.), for `1 + 3´ ESRC research training and for the different forms of financial support available. Current students will find a schedule of Graduate School activities during the current semester as well as other helpful links.
