Research Training

Besides its postgraduate degrees the IHR offers a comprehensive programme of short training courses in research skills for historians. Taking advantage of both the unparalleled concentration of historical expertise available in the University of London, and the wealth of archival materials in and round the capital, the Institute's long-established and highly successful courses are widely recognised as the best means of developing and extending both essential and more specialised research skills. The IHR training programme is primarily aimed at postgraduate historians, but also welcomes established historians and independent researchers and writers of all sorts. These specialised historical courses are complemented by the School of Advanced Study's Research Skills Workshops.

Postgraduates may also be interested in The History Lab, a way to meet others involved in historical research and share ideas on a more informal basis.
