Postgraduate research students play a key role in our intellectual community. As of the 2025-26 academic year, we have over 90 postgraduate members. They undertake research in our core fields of History, Politics, Literature, as well as work in Biology, Anthropology, Criminology, Economics, International Development, Law, Sociology, and Theology and Religion. They also take part in teaching, convening seminars and presenting their research within Oxford and beyond. For information on how to become a Postgraduate Member of the RAI, see here.
