If you're interested in taking your existing knowledge and expertise in History into a postgraduate research degree, then Portsmouth is the perfect place to do it. Within our History research, we're studying how everyday people have responded to upheaval, and how their experiences, culture, values and activities have shaped their identities and behaviour - and as a postgraduate research degree student, you'll play your own part in transforming our knowledge and expertise into action. Across our areas of expertise - in early modern history, British social and cultural history, and urban cultures - we're exploring the lives of people at all levels of society, and the complex communities, cultures, and subcultures to which they belonged. Through our work, we're able to make sense of the world we live in today, and to understand how our own society may change in the future.<br>MPhil option available.
