Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
-
Home of the two-year degree, the University of Buckingham, based in the South East of England, is ranked 6th for Student Satisfaction in the UK (National Student Survey, 2020).
-
We are proudly independent and not-for-profit, and offer courses in Allied Health, Business, Computing, Education, Humanities, Law, Medicine, Psychology and Security and Intelligence. We are one of the few universities in the UK that offer September and January start dates for almost all of our courses.
-
Based in Buckingham on a riverside campus, we are only 20 minutes’ from Milton Keynes central station and a short drive from Bicester, Aylesbury, Banbury and Northampton. There is free parking on-site and we are within easy reach of London and Oxford.
-
Our award-winning small class tutorials ensure every student is known by name and supported throughout their studies, including by dedicated personal tutors.
-
As pioneers of the two-year degree, we offer a condensed version of the traditional three-year degree, meaning you can gain a full honours degree and complete your studies a whole year earlier. Alternatively, you can complete both your undergraduate and master’s degree with us in just three years: saving you time and money.
The PhD in Stuart History – which incorporates the history of the Civil War and the English Republic (1649-1660) – is an advanced research degree, awarded on the basis of a thesis and an oral viva voce examination. The primary purpose of the PhD is the preparation and presentation of a substantial piece of independent and original academic research, completed in three years if studying full-time and usually six years if studying part-time. There is also the possibility of early submission in cases where the student makes particularly rapid progress.
There is an enormously broad range of possible thesis subjects in British History during the ‘long’ seventeenth century: the age of Stuart rule from the accession of James VI of Scotland as James I of England and Ireland in 1603 through to the death of Queen Anne, the last of the Protestant Stuart monarchs, in 1714. Theses in the recent past have ranged from Anglo-French relations in the early seventeenth century, to the political career of the second Earl of Warwick, one of the towering figures of the parliamentarian leadership in the English Civil War, through to the financial underpinnings of British government after the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688. The University encourages applications from those who are interested in all aspects of the social, religious, political and cultural history of Stuart Britain.
Given sufficient evidence to illuminate it, almost any aspect of the history of Britain in the ‘long’ seventeenth century may potentially form an appropriate focus of study. Your supervisors (or prospective supervisors) are on hand to offer advice. The definition of the PhD subject is an iterative process, and it is usual for the candidate’s first thoughts on the topic to be modified in the course of the first year of study.
A large proportion of our PhD students are engaged in full-time study, but there is also an option for part-time study where this fits better with a student’s other commitments. Part-time study can be ideal for those who are looking to gain a postgraduate qualification without leaving employment and wish to develop their careers while they continue earning, or for those who are home-based for whatever reason and wish to develop their skills. All students are expected to engage with the academic life of the University, to attend skills-training meetings where these are relevant, as well as research seminars and workshops.
PhD students are expected to attend the Humanities Research Institute’s graduate Research Days in their area of research – usually one per Term – and are encouraged to attend other seminars that may be relevant to their research.

| Entry requirements | Applicants are normally expected to have a first or upper second-class degree at undergraduate level and a Master’s degree. Students without a Master’s degree and wishing to undertake doctoral research may enrol on the University’s own MA in Philosophy in their first year and upgrade to PhD registration at the start of their second year of full-time study; the first year of MA study counts as the first of the three years required for the PhD. Wherever possible, students are encouraged to begin their studies at the start of the academic year (in September), in order to be in step with their peers. Where this is not possible, however, entry points exist at the start of each academic term. |

-
We are proudly independent and not-for-profit, and offer courses in Allied Health, Business, Computing, Education, Humanities, Law, Medicine, Psychology and Security and Intelligence. We are one of the few universities in the UK that offer September and January start dates for almost all of our courses.
-
Based in Buckingham on a riverside campus, we are only 20 minutes’ from Milton Keynes central station and a short drive from Bicester, Aylesbury, Banbury and Northampton. There is free parking on-site and we are within easy reach of London and Oxford.
-
Our award-winning small class tutorials ensure every student is known by name and supported throughout their studies, including by dedicated personal tutors.
-
As pioneers of the two-year degree, we offer a condensed version of the traditional three-year degree, meaning you can gain a full honours degree and complete your studies a whole year earlier. Alternatively, you can complete both your undergraduate and master’s degree with us in just three years: saving you time and money.
The PhD in Stuart History – which incorporates the history of the Civil War and the English Republic (1649-1660) – is an advanced research degree, awarded on the basis of a thesis and an oral viva voce examination. The primary purpose of the PhD is the preparation and presentation of a substantial piece of independent and original academic research, completed in three years if studying full-time and usually six years if studying part-time. There is also the possibility of early submission in cases where the student makes particularly rapid progress.
There is an enormously broad range of possible thesis subjects in British History during the ‘long’ seventeenth century: the age of Stuart rule from the accession of James VI of Scotland as James I of England and Ireland in 1603 through to the death of Queen Anne, the last of the Protestant Stuart monarchs, in 1714. Theses in the recent past have ranged from Anglo-French relations in the early seventeenth century, to the political career of the second Earl of Warwick, one of the towering figures of the parliamentarian leadership in the English Civil War, through to the financial underpinnings of British government after the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688. The University encourages applications from those who are interested in all aspects of the social, religious, political and cultural history of Stuart Britain.
Given sufficient evidence to illuminate it, almost any aspect of the history of Britain in the ‘long’ seventeenth century may potentially form an appropriate focus of study. Your supervisors (or prospective supervisors) are on hand to offer advice. The definition of the PhD subject is an iterative process, and it is usual for the candidate’s first thoughts on the topic to be modified in the course of the first year of study.
A large proportion of our PhD students are engaged in full-time study, but there is also an option for part-time study where this fits better with a student’s other commitments. Part-time study can be ideal for those who are looking to gain a postgraduate qualification without leaving employment and wish to develop their careers while they continue earning, or for those who are home-based for whatever reason and wish to develop their skills. All students are expected to engage with the academic life of the University, to attend skills-training meetings where these are relevant, as well as research seminars and workshops.
PhD students are expected to attend the Humanities Research Institute’s graduate Research Days in their area of research – usually one per Term – and are encouraged to attend other seminars that may be relevant to their research.

| Entry requirements | Applicants are normally expected to have a first or upper second-class degree at undergraduate level and a Master’s degree. Students without a Master’s degree and wishing to undertake doctoral research may enrol on the University’s own MA in Philosophy in their first year and upgrade to PhD registration at the start of their second year of full-time study; the first year of MA study counts as the first of the three years required for the PhD. Wherever possible, students are encouraged to begin their studies at the start of the academic year (in September), in order to be in step with their peers. Where this is not possible, however, entry points exist at the start of each academic term. |

The PhD in Stuart History – which incorporates the history of the Civil War and the English Republic (1649-1660) – is an advanced research degree, awarded on the basis of a thesis and an oral viva voce examination. The primary purpose of the PhD is the preparation and presentation of a substantial piece of independent and original academic research, completed in three years if studying full-time and usually six years if studying part-time. There is also the possibility of early submission in cases where the student makes particularly rapid progress.
There is an enormously broad range of possible thesis subjects in British History during the ‘long’ seventeenth century: the age of Stuart rule from the accession of James VI of Scotland as James I of England and Ireland in 1603 through to the death of Queen Anne, the last of the Protestant Stuart monarchs, in 1714. Theses in the recent past have ranged from Anglo-French relations in the early seventeenth century, to the political career of the second Earl of Warwick, one of the towering figures of the parliamentarian leadership in the English Civil War, through to the financial underpinnings of British government after the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688. The University encourages applications from those who are interested in all aspects of the social, religious, political and cultural history of Stuart Britain.
Given sufficient evidence to illuminate it, almost any aspect of the history of Britain in the ‘long’ seventeenth century may potentially form an appropriate focus of study. Your supervisors (or prospective supervisors) are on hand to offer advice. The definition of the PhD subject is an iterative process, and it is usual for the candidate’s first thoughts on the topic to be modified in the course of the first year of study.
