Master of Arts [M.A] [History] From Queen Mary, University of London

Why study your MA in History at Queen Mary?

The USA lays claim to immense political, cultural and economic power. How did this happen and how should we understand AmericaÕs reach and influence in the modern world?

How have the meanings of social and political relations such as gender, family and friendship changed through history? How should we explore the history of emotion, the self and the body? Compare regions and societies across time in order to understand why they are relevant in the world today.

Study a wide range of European history, examining events which are still relevant to the world today. Key themes include religious cultures, patronage of literature and arts, attitudes to minorities, travel and pilgrimage, and EuropeÕs links with Africa and the Near East.

The history of the Middle East and its relations with Europe, past and present, is a topic with contemporary resonance. This pathway brings together internationally recognised expertise in the history of the medieval Islamic world, Iberia and the Crusades, as well as in the modern national and international politics of the Arab Middle East.

We are one of the largest departments in the UK with a vibrant and successful postgraduate community.

We offer a range of innovative programmes and our links with external organisation (museums, industry, political institutions) will not only benefit you while you study but also after you graduate.
