Course summary
Could your exploration of Russian and Slavonic languages, culture and history influence how future scholars understand the importance of this region? Having completed a masters degree and agreed your research topic with a supervisor, you will continue to explore themes relating to our specialisms. Your research will benefit from our interdisciplinary links with other institutions via the Centre for Russian, Central and East European Studies (CRCEES). For more information see; https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/crcees/ Attending research seminars and special lectures will be an important part of your doctoral journey. You will also have the opportunity to deliver papers of your own. The culmination of your work will be a thesis that makes a significant contribution to research in Russian and Slavonic Studies. The University of Nottingham is one of eight universities making up the AHRC-funded Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M4C). The partnership provides funding and training to support the professional and personal development of the next generation of arts and humanities doctoral researchers.
Modules
Before you start your research degree you will have completed a research-preparation masters degree in a related discipline and have agreed your research topic with a main supervisor and co-supervisor. You will work with this team closely for the duration of your study and are welcome to consult any other member of the department whose research seems of relevance to your own work. You are required to attend all departmental research seminars and special lectures and deliver at least one paper of your own each year, usually at the annual Postgraduate Forum or at a work-in-progress seminar. At the end of three years’ full-time registration, plus one year optional writing-up, you will have written a thesis of between 80,000-100,000 words, in English or Portuguese, on a topic which makes a significant contribution to the sum of knowledge on Russian and Slavonic languages, culture and history.
