Seminars and Lectures

There is an extensive and lively programme of seminars given by St. Andrews postgraduates, staff and guest speakers from outside this University, while occasional public lectures are given by historians from other Universities. You are welcome to attend all such seminars and lectures. We believe that you will benefit from hearing papers by other scholars, whether in your own field or in other areas of history.

Such seminars and lectures are advertised on the Postgraduate Notice Board, on the first floor of St Katharine’s Lodge, and on the School website. Currently there are seminars in Mediaeval History; Middle Eastern History; Reformation History; Modern History and Scottish Historical Studies.

Additionally, informal seminars exist in some areas (e.g. Mediaeval History), which are open only to postgraduates, who give short papers and talk generally about their research. These meetings also provide opportunities for postgraduates to meet other research students socially. An informal school wide seminar for postgraduates was successfully launched last session.

MLitt students and PhD students are expected to attend relevant seminars regularly.
