The distinctive emphasis of Goldsmiths History is an approach to research which is theorised, interdisciplinary and comparative; 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.
MPhil and PhD topics currently include: the history of childhood; strangers and medieval cities; the history of architecture; slavery and the reparations debate; histories of philosophy and aesthetics. See details of staff research interests.
Please more information about Starting your research, upgrading to PhD registration, and submitting your thesis.
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, with additional assessed courses in research methods and cultural history. Initial enquiries should be directed to Dr. Vivienne Richmond or to the member of staff whose research interests most closely match your own - see staff research interests.
Assessment
A research file, one 4,000-word essay and a 20,000-word dissertation. The dissertation may be followed by a viva voce.

The MA encourages you to pursue evidence-based archival research, but assumes that historical enquiry is always theoretically informed. It examines current research within the subject, encourages you to pursue your own interests, and prepares you to write (or produce in some other medium) a dissertation
