There are six strands (American, British, Irish, Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern and Religion, Identity and Conflict).  Within each strand, students can opt to specialise in particular areas such as gender history, religious history, social history, political history or economic history. Or, they can create a more varied personal programme of study. The School has a host of world leading experts in all periods of time from Ancient to Contemporary History. Why Queen's? This programme provides students with an opportunity to work in the largest and most international community of historians on the island of Ireland. The School is a world-leading centre for innovative and dynamic historical research. In the 2014 UK assessment of research (REF), History at Queen’s was ranked in the top 20 departments for research. The Public Internship module gives students an opportunity to work alongside heritage and public history professionals on a range of practical projects.

An aspiring historian can extend their studies from Ireland to each of the continents, and from the twentieth century back to early medieval times."" Robin McCallum
