The MRes provides excellent preparation for study at MPhil/PhD level for students with a defined research topic, but is also a degree in its own right. The programme is primarily assessed by a 20,000-word dissertation on your chosen topic, but also incorporates two taught courses: Explorations and Debates in History and Research Skills. Explorations and Debates investigates the ways historians have conceptualised and contested historical practice in the modern and early modern periods. Research Skills develops expertise in a variety of methodologies including the use of oral, visual and material, as well as textual, sources. Initial enquiries should be directed to Dr Stefanos Katsikas or to the member of staff whose research interests most closely match your own - see staff staff research interests. 

Assessment

Two 2,000- and one 4,000-word essays, and a 20,000-word dissertation. The dissertation may be followed by a viva voce.
