There are many different ways of conducting research for a thesis.Any or all may be valid in a given case, depending on the subject of the research and the questions addressed.
Your college will also assign you an adviser upon whose general pastoral advice and support you will be able to call.
In addition to work for your supervisor, you will be required to take a range of coursework.
Many move on to post-doctoral fellowships in the UK, continental Europe and North America.
Our doctoral students have a distinguished history of winning thesis and other prizes and of publishing their work in leading journals and with major university presses.
Some theses may involve an analytical-descriptive attempt at understanding different events, perspectives and traditions of thought.
Others may have a strong historiographical element – exploring, for example, the relation between events and ideas, or involving an original and expert use of sources.
Doctoral theses will normally require substantial original research, often involving archives, fieldwork, interviewing or other forms of data generation and collection.
For the doctoral degree the most crucial requirement is that the thesis makes a ‘significant and substantial contribution to the field of knowledge within which it falls’. The department is committed to the rigorous use of a plurality of methods.
In the first term this includes: Research Design and Methods, Advanced IR theory, and basic or intermediate statistics, as well as attendance at the regular IR Research Seminar which runs through the year and at which doctoral students present their work.
In the second term students continue with Research Design and Approaches to Research in IR and take one of Formal Analysis, Causal Inference, Qualitative Methods, or Reasoning in Political Theory.
