Postgraduate

Humanities provides a supportive and engaging study environment
As a Humanities postgraduate research or taught student you can carve your own path through academia, either by undertaking your own research in the area which most interests you or following one of our exciting programmes of study.
Humanities offers dedicated supervision, the chance to get involved in academic and social activities and an established programme of skills training. As part of an increasingly diverse postgraduate community you will find a discipline and interdisciplinary home, a place to meet like (and unlike) minds and to build your achievements alongside those of others.
In our Graduate School, you will also gain the broader personal and professional skills essential both for your postgraduate research and for your lifelong career choices.
You can also visit the individual discipline sites to discover more about postgraduate studies: Archaeology, English, Film, History, Modern Languages, Music and Philosophy.
