The MRes in Historical Research at the Institute of Historical Research is an integrated research training programme designed to provide graduates with a foundation for a career in research in industry, the public sector or in academic life or a platform for entry to a PhD programme. Its purpose is to offer high quality postgraduate training in the methods and practice of research in relevant transferable skills.
The normal minimum entrance requirement for all masters degrees is a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree from a university in the UK, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard (for example a Grade Point Average [GPA] of 3.0 or higher). Applicants for Mphil / PhD are normally required to have a masters degree or equivalent. Please see Admissions Policy for full details. Applications may also be considered from candidates who do not meet the formal academic requirements, but who offer alternative qualifications and/or relevant experience.
