Embark on a PhD History with Genealogical Studies at the University of Strathclyde, a programme designed for ambitious researchers seeking to explore the intricate connections between historical events and individual lives. You will delve into the power of genealogical techniques and sources to illuminate areas such as historical demography, local history, and sociology, offering fresh perspectives on established research. This doctoral journey is ideal if you are driven to reappraise historical findings, assess new archival collections, or critically evaluate the evolution of genealogical practice and its supporting fields.
This full-time, on-campus PhD, typically completed over three years, offers a unique interdisciplinary approach. You will work closely with academic staff from History and the Strathclyde Institute of Genealogical Studies, benefiting from specialised supervision. Your research will culminate in a thesis that makes an original contribution to knowledge, developing advanced research methodologies, analytical skills, and professional competencies in communication and organisation. You will graduate prepared for academic careers or roles in heritage, archives, and specialised research, equipped with a distinctive blend of historical and genealogical expertise.
