Course summary

The distinctive emphasis of Goldsmiths' Department of History is a theorised, interdisciplinary and comparative approach to research.The culture of the department is open, friendly and accessible, and research students are encouraged to be innovative in their use of sources and methodologies. We have a young cohort of staff, and they are at the cutting-edge of their fields. The student-teacher ratio allows us to devote an unmatched amount of time to individual supervision.Each September, there is a week-long university-wide induction programme for first-year postgraduate research students in all academic disciplines. This introduces you to some of the essentials of research and gives you the opportunity to ask general questions. Research students usually follow a programme of training tailored to their needs.Your supervisor will help you in the initial planning of your research, offering advice and suggestions as the project evolves, and maintaining regular contact through individual tutorials. Having discussed your needs with your supervisor, in the first year you undertake training to develop your research skills and techniques.Research can be an isolating process, so we give you the opportunity to participate in departmental research seminars and programmes of taught options, which enable you to meet other research students.
