Doctor of Philosophy in History

Kuwait University's Department of History offers this Doctor of Philosophy in History, a research doctorate restricted to the Modern and Contemporary History track. The program is built around original historical research intended to contribute new, evidence-based narratives to the field rather than synthesising existing scholarship alone. Admission requires a master's degree in history from Kuwait University's College of Arts or an equivalent institution, a minimum GPA of 2.67 on a 4.0 scale, an admission exam score of at least 65 percent, and English proficiency evidence. The program accepts current undergraduates and part-time students but not non-degree applicants, and enrols up to five students per cycle, supervised by a large faculty group spanning professors through assistant professors in the department. A program director and committee members coordinate the degree, with downloadable major sheets setting out the course requirements for admitted doctoral students.
