About us

School of Histories, Languages and Cultures

The School was formed in 2010 as part of a major reorganization of the academic structures across the University. Five departments covering more than a dozen subject areas joined together to make up the School. In our research and in our teaching we explore culture and society from the origins of humanity to modern day politics.

We are a community of scholars working across a vast number of disciplines and united by our research interests in history and heritage, languages and literatures, and power, conflict and conflict resolution.

The School undertakes the following areas of study:-

• History
• Irish Studies
• Politics
• Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology
• Cultures, Languages and Area Studies
• Archives and Records Management

Archives and Records Management

MARM is the only full-time masters programme in the UK delivered from within a department of History. The department is very proud of its international reputation for research and its innovative and student-centered teaching.

We are a member of The Forum for Archives and Records Management Education and Research for the UK and Ireland (FARMER), which was formed in 1999 for teaching and research staff in the area of archives and records management in universities in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The membership includes representatives of the postgraduate programmes which have been formally recognized by the Archives and Records Association as providing primary professional qualifications for entrants to the archives and records management profession.
