Overview
As a research student, students meet regularly with their supervisor, and have the opportunity to take part in informal reading groups and research seminars to which students, staff and visiting speakers contribute papers. Students also benefit from a series of research skills seminars that run in the spring term, which gives them a chance to share the research expertise of staff and postdoctoral members of the department.
The University of Kent was one of the first universities to establish colonial and postcolonial studies in the UK and has continued to play a significant part in the development of the field with an incredible national and international reputation. The University is also home to the Centre for the Global Study of Empire, an interdisciplinary and multi-lingual centre that aims to promote research and public engagement in the areas of colonialism, post-colonialism, and imperial studies from across the world. .
As a basis for advanced research, students must take the School and University research methods programmes.
