Queen's has had a history of excellence in research since its foundation as Queen's College Belfast in 1845. This excellence has continued through successive generations, and Queen's recent achievements are part of this tradition. Both History and Anthropology are long established disciplines at Queen's, and produce research of global significance across a range of fields.
The 2008 UK Research Asssessment Exercise (RAE) results confirmed our reputation as an internationally leading research centre in both Anthropology and in History. Visit our News section for details: >>MoreĀ
