Postgraduate Study
The Department of History at Hull is one of the largest and most
diverse in the country, with 30 staff
actively involved in historical research and publication and in the
supervision of research students. We are a community
of internationally-recognised researchers, working in a
wide range of historical periods, from the Iron Age to the
twenty-first century. We offer postgraduate supervision in many
areas, from cultural, intellectual and religious history to the
history of warfare, business history, gender history and colonial
history, as well as newly emerging areas such as
Atlantic, global and environmental history.
The University has embarked on an ambitious phase of
development, including a planned £15 million investment in the
Brynmor Jones
Library. History
resources in the Library are especially strong: we continue to
build our collection of monographs; subscribe to over 500 journals
in History and its cognate fields; and have invested in digital
resources such as the State Papers Online, Early American Imprints,
collections of historic newspapers, and an expanding collection of
ebooks through platforms such as Oxford Scholarship
Online. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences is home to a number of
research units and centres, each acting as a hub for
interdisciplinary collaboration. In short, we provide an
intellecually and socially stimulating atmosphere, close support
and supervision, and world-class postgraduate teaching.
