Die Forschungsprojekte der fakultären Einheiten sind national und international vernetzt und umfassen zahlreiche Grossprojekte, kollaborative Projekte und Einzelprojekte. Die beachtlichen Leistungen der Philosophisch-Historischen Fakultät im Bereich der Forschung zeigen sich nicht zuletzt in ihrem grossen Erfolg bei der Einwerbung von Drittmitteln. So kann sie eine exzellente Drittmittelquote (Verhältnis der eingeworbenen Drittmittel zum Finanzierungsbeitrag der Universität) vorweisen, die in den letzten Jahren (2014-2017) jeweils um 60 Prozent lag.
