History

About this course

History is the discipline that explains where we are now by examining how we got here. As Queen's University Belfast puts it, what is gender, race, class, religion, the state, empire, capitalism? What is the USA, China, the United Kingdom, Ireland? What is NATO and the EU? Historians answer these questions by reaching back to the Roman empire, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the great modern revolutions across Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. To study history is to engage with the full range of human experience, to read its traces in documents, images, and material culture, and to develop the analytical skills to understand why things happened as they did rather than otherwise. Queen's University Belfast's three-year full-time History degree has a typical entry tariff of 136 points. From their first year, students are trusted to make choices and range wide
