About Classics Research Areas, MPhil, PhD - at University of Nottingham

We welcome applications for postgraduate research. Nottingham's Classics Department is very actively engaged in research, and its staff cover a wide range of research specialisms. The department is also involved with several research centres: Centre for Ancient Drama and its Reception (CADRE), the Institute for the Study of Slavery (ISOS), the Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies (CSPS), and the Centre for Late Antique and Byzantine Studies (CLABS).

Our department provides excellent support for its research students, many of whom gain valuable teaching experience and publish their research whilst studying with us. For areas our staff would be particularly interested in supervising please visit our staff research profiles.

All students registered for a research degree participate in a programme of research training and skills development.

Supervision for research leading to a PhD or MPhil can be provided in most areas of Greek and Roman history, society, culture, art and literature. Applications are particularly welcomed in the specialities mentioned under Classics research opportunities.

MPhil

Studying for an MPhil degree involves a minimum of two years of full-time or four years of part-time directed study, at the end of which students produce a 60,000-word dissertation in their chosen area of research. Students registered for the MPhil may transfer to the PhD if their work is judged to be of suitable quality and promise.
