Portsmouth and Plymouth for postgraduate maritime history

Portsmouth is the first suggestion for focused maritime history, with Plymouth and King's also relevant depending on topic and supervision.

Question

Where should someone pursue a master's or PhD in maritime history?

Short answer

Portsmouth is the first recommendation for maritime history, while Plymouth and King's may fit depending on the project and available supervision.

Notes

For a master's or PhD centered on maritime history, the first recommendation is Portsmouth. Plymouth is another possible route, with Harry Bennett named as a helpful contact and potential supervisor in the 2022 discussion. King's remains relevant where the project leans toward war studies. The choice should follow the research question and available supervision rather than the university name alone, and current staff availability must be checked.
