About

Course overview

Take the next step with a PhD or MA by Research in Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies. At Birmingham, you’ll be a part of the UK’s only research centre to unite these disciplines.

Work flexibly on campus or by distance learning from anywhere in the world. You’ll be supported to develop your research skills to successfully make original findings and prepare for your future career.

Course structure

Our PhD programmes are normally undertaken in three years full-time or six years part-time, and our Masters-level research programmes are taken in one year full-time or two years part-time. The period of maximum registration for a PhD includes a further year, designated "thesis awaited," which is usually a period of final revisions and more occasional supervision.

The first year (or part-time equivalent) of a PhD usually includes a literature review specific to your thesis and topic. You'll begin to undertake your research and relevant training.

Your thesis is usually written in stages over the course of your PhD, and you’ll receive regular feedback.

For an MA by Research, these timescales are condensed into one year (or two years if studying part time).
