PhD Research

A pioneer in the field of Digital Humanities, we were the first department in the world to offer a PhD in the subject.

Or research the interaction of technology and digital content with cultural and social processes, with how we read and publish and how we create and keep memories.  

You can choose to research solely with us or take a collaborative PhD with other departments such as Classics, History, English  and Culture, Media & Creative Industries. 

Qualification(s): MPhil  PhD 
Duration: Expected to be three years FT, four-six years PT. October to October, February to February or June to June.
