Course summary
These programmes of study are designed for students who have a passion to pursue a conservation or heritage based research project defined by themselves, but with the support of an academic environment and supervisors. As a research student, you will have access to support and training to develop the practical and critical skills necessary for investigation and study at doctoral level. Direction will be available from your experienced supervisory team and you will benefit from the School’s research expertise in a broad range of conservation and cultural heritage areas. Members of staff in the School of History and Heritage are established or emerging as internationally recognised research leaders in their respective fields.

Assessment method
The assessment at PhD level takes the form of an approximately 80,000 word thesis.
