PhD Modern War Studies by Research

With Britain having recently been more heavily involved in overseas wars than at any point in the last half century, the University of Buckingham has launched MPhil and DPhil degrees in Modern War Studies and Contemporary Military History based at a central London Club. The course commences in October with a Research Skills Study Day and after a year of supervised independent research, culminates with the student s submission of a dissertation. During the first six months, candidates are encouraged to attend a series of guest seminars and dinners (set out in detail under Teaching & Assessment) at which some of the most eminent names in the field present papers. This series of talks examines why and how modern wars are fought, and the principal influences that will affect the conduct of war and Britain s role in the future.
