Graduate Studies
Applications are welcomed for M.Phil. and Ph.D. study, both full and part-time, in all our research areas. Students are assigned supervisors in either a single or two departments, depending on the range of their topic. Recent projects have included interdisciplinary work on literature and science (Pater, Aestheticism and Science; Dickens, Gaskell and Science), religious history and literature (responses to Anglican convents, nineteenth-century German literature (Literature and Censorship in the
Vormärz), and architectural and social history. In addition to the regular nineteenth-century seminar series, there is a whole range of other graduate and research seminars which students are encouraged to attend. In their first year, students usually take research training modules up to a value of 45 credits; courses on offer include modules on information technology in the humanities and on nineteenth-century research skills.
The Departments which make up the Centre all have
study suites with networked computers specifically reserved for graduate
use. All the main Sheffield Arts departments recently moved into a
large new Arts Building in Hanover Street, Sheffield, at the heart of
the University campus.
Great care is taken to foster graduate research, and to offer (paid) teaching experience wherever possible. There are also possibilities for publication through work on volumes produced by members of the Centre.
The University offers internal
and AHRC scholarships for full time study, and smaller bursaries are also available for both full and part-time study. Members of the Centre are very happy to offer help with all applications for funding. |
