PhD
The Centre has an active group of research students from all over the
world, who are enrolled in our MPhil/PhD programme in the History of
Medicine. Some of them are funded by our scholarships, some by external
bodies, some pursue their PhD as part-time or self-funded students.
The topics of their research cover all fields in the history of medicine
and related fields, which are represented by members of the academic
staff.
See the current PhD students and academics on this website.
Applicants are requested to submit a completed application form, including a CV, two letters of reference, one A4 page describing their research proposal, and a further page elaborating on the sources they plan to use, how they situate their PhD project within the history of medicine, and the secondary literature on which they base their approach.
The Centre supports PhD students applying to funding bodies
such as the AHRC, Wellcome Trust and UCL. AHRC and Wellcome Trust
studentships are highly competitive. They require considerable paperwork
and must be sent to the funding agency by the Centre, not by
prospective students. Deadlines are strict.
