ÌÇÐÄTV

The Humanities Research Centre was established in 1995 and replaced the European Humanities Centre which was established in 1985. To celebrate 20 years of the Humanities Research Centre (and 30 years of the European Humanities Research Centre) we are organising a week-long series of events around the theme of FREEDOM OF SPEECH including keynote addresses, roundtable discussions, inter-active sessions and lunch time conversations.

On Wednesday 18th November 2015 the Department of Classics and Ancient History will host its first Departmental Postgraduate Open Day. Come along to find out about our research and courses, how to maximise your chances of gaining doctoral funding, and to meet current postgraduates and staff.
