Course Overview

Our Faculty have research specialisms across a range of chronological areas. We have major areas of research strength in the history of Ireland, Britain, the USA, Europe, Africa, and Asia. History offers supervisory expertise to students who plan to work on ancient, medieval, early modern, or modern/contemporary history. Modules are designed in a complementary fashion in order to develop the range of skills that employers expect from graduates from the best-designed postgraduate taught programs.

The MA History program at Queen’s is designed around students’ research interests and provides the opportunity to choose courses relating to a variety of historical periods and locations. You can opt to specialize in particular areas such as Gender History, Oral History, the History of Religion, Urban History, the History of Race and Ethnicity, the History of the Cold War, Social History, Political History or Economic History. You can opt to take these approaches within American History, British History, Irish History, European History, African History, Asian History, or Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern History.

This program provides students with an opportunity to work in the largest and most international community of historians on the island of Ireland. Close involvement of practitioners from a wide range of organizations in many aspects of the course enriches research culture. The postgraduate community has a strong involvement in the Centre for Public History at Queen’s, the Institute of Irish Studies, and in QUOTE (Queen’s University Oral history, Technology, and Ethics) Hub.
