Uni suggestions for studying history at a PhD level? (Europe)
Hello everyone! I am considering doing a PhD in history, and more specifically in the field of Ottoman/Balkans studies with a focus on nineteenth century transnational history.
I would be really grateful if you could suggest universities for PhD programmes in history (or say why you wouldn't recommend some). For now, I am mostly considering the EUI and the CEU even though the latter seems to be disliked by its students (at least on reddit). (In general, I would like to be at a uni in continental Europe.)
A bit of context: I did my BA in the UK in History, Politics and Classics, I'm currently doing my MA in European Politics and Society at Leiden, Jagiellonian and Charles University. Although my current degree is more politics-oriented, I will do my thesis on a history-related topic and hopefully I would be able to develop it further as a PhD project.
Please, please, please share any suggestions, tips, or recommendations you might have!
Thanks!
