Course content
Excellence in research is a high priority for History at the University. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, 70% of our research was judged to be of international originality and significance and 15% to be world leading. This result reflected the outstanding quality of the publications of History staff and their success rate with research students. Historians at the University have always seen a thriving community of postgraduate students, both full-time and part-time, as contributing to the overall research culture of the subject. They have organized a number of national and international conferences at which research students have presented papers. Research students are also encouraged to attend, and present papers at, historical conferences in Britain and Ireland and beyond.
