This degree celebrates the field of Genealogy while combining strong historical training with flexible learning. It gave me the tools to connect my personal interests in childhood history as well as traditional and genetic genealogy, while learning more about rigorous and professional historical research methods.
Elizabeth Bowsher, MSc Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies
The Strathclyde course was well structured, built on experience and the MSc was a recognised genealogy and general qualification. Also, the Strathclyde’s FutureLearn genealogy course gave me quite a good sneak preview of the general areas the course might cover and gave me a feel for Strathclyde’s approach.
Janice Menzies, MSc Genealogical, Palaeographic & Heraldic Studies
I liked the fact that the course was clearly designed for remote learning, rather than just an adaptation of an existing on-site course. The teaching staff were real enthusiasts, very much involved in the subject, and with a range of different specialisms.
Kathryn Burtinshaw, MSc Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies
The course has provided me with enough information in key areas that have enabled me to have the confidence to give talks. The breadth of knowledge needed to complete the MSc was extremely wide and the ability to choose my own topic on a subject of personal interest allowed me to research a potentially publishable dissertation and gain a highly prestigious qualification at the same time.
