As the UK's national humanities research centre, 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.

The School of Advanced Study is a unique environment in which to study the humanities. The School strives to reflect the latest developments in thinking across the humanities disciplines it supports and to ensure that its programmes reflect this. We are also aware that the needs of our students are constantly changing. With that in mind, the School continually reviews the its programmes and, as part of that process, reserves the right to alter or discontinue them.
We assure you that we carry out these exercises at no detriment to any enrolled students. Students enrolled on any programme that we discontinue will be able to complete that programme within a reasonable timeframe and with all the necessary resources at their disposal. The School will communicate any anticipated changes with students as early as possible.
