As the UK's national humanities research hub, we offer a unique scholarly community in which to pursue doctoral research.
Our research students can take advantage of a varied and challenging research training programme, with general research skills training and research methodologies courses provided through the School and subject-specific training provided within the institutes.
The School is a member of the AHRC-funded London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP), together with King's College London and UCL.
The School of Advanced Study now offers students with an appropriate topic and level of local resource the opportunity to undertake a research degree by distance learning. This option is available to UK, EU and international students on the same basis as our London-based PhD programmes.
