Welcome to the Department of History at Queen Mary, University of London
We are one of the largest history departments in London and offer a very wide range of degree courses and research opportunities.
The 2009 National Student Survey ranked Queen Mary among the top 10 History departments nationwide for student satisfaction, with 98% of our students expressing satisfaction with their degree programme.
We provide first-rate teaching fuelled by cutting-edge research within a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with an emphasis on student support. RAE 2008 has ranked Queen Mary among the top 15 research universities in the UK. The History department, having entered all of its academic staff performed very well with nearly a third of our research rated as 'world leading' and nearly two-thirds as 'internationally excellent' or better.
