Postgraduate studies
Our Department participates in taught MA programmes and offers supervision for research degrees at masters (MPhil) and doctoral (PhD) level.
If you come to Sheffield as a postgraduate student you will be joining one of the strongest departments in the country. Our international reputation for research received recognition with the award of a rating of 5*A in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise and further recognition from the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE): 70% of our research was judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent -- an accolade given to only two other departments.
