Our location in Northern Ireland (itself a post-conflict society) provides a unique environment in which to study MA programmes relating to the award theme of ‘Conflict, Security and Contested Pasts’.
Many of the School’s graduate programs showcase Queen’s expertise in the study of conflict, security, and the challenges of dealing with controversial histories. Being itself a post-conflict society, and despite the many lessons that can be learned from its successful peace process, Northern Ireland continues to grapple with the challenges of its difficult past.
