For
those considering doing a PhD in Cambridge, the Department will be running a
workshop from 1-2pm on Thursday 5th November 2015. This
workshop, run by the Director of Graduate Studies, will explain the
Department's PhD admissions requirements and processes. More generally, advice
will be provided on finding a workable topic and appropriate potential
supervisors, securing references, writing a convincing proposal, and applying
for funding. If you intend to come from outside of Cambridge to attend this
workshop, please let us know (hps-admin@lists.cam.ac.uk). We would encourage
you to make a day of it, stay for the Departmental Seminar at 4pm (Jeff Hughes, University of
Manchester, will present a paper on 'Winston's
Gestapo': Churchill, the Royal Society and scientific secrecy before the
Bomb’), and after the seminar, from 7.30pm there is the annual Cambridge
fireworks display on Midsummer Common.
