PhD in History of Art

University of Cambridge

A doctoral degree at the Department of History of Art offers the opportunity for independent research under the supervision of an expert member of staff. The Department of History of Art has expertise in and therefore welcomes candidates in all periods from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Early Modern eras, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as in Modern and Contemporary art. We also encourage research on historiography and methodology. As well as the research and skills training programme offered by the Faculty of Architecture and History of Art, candidates have the opportunity to attend suitable courses in associated skills, such as modern languages, palaeography, the use of bibliographic and other databases, and computer skills.
