Course summary
The Department is proud of its thriving community of research students. A recent HEFCE study found that King's College London is the most successful university in Britain in terms of PhD completion rate. The Department of War Studies is recognised by the British Academy, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the Economic and Social Research Council. Nearly 200 students are currently undertaking doctoral research in the Department. Every year, about 60 new students join our MPhil/PhD programme. They work under the supervision of faculty members from the Department of War Studies and also from the Department of Defence Studies. The Department is especially interested in receiving applications from students planning research projects in fields that will enhance the quality and impact of the Department's research groups, programmes and centres. Students are encouraged to contribute fully to our research units, enhancing our research culture and contributing to Department of War Studies' research strategy. It is College policy to review the progress of full and part-time students within three months of initial registration and again after a period of nine months' registration. Thereafter, the progress of all students will be reviewed every six months.
