The Centre for Emigration Studies at the Ulster-American Folk Park and Queen’s University Outreach Programme launched their MSSc course in Migration Studies last November. The programme offers an exciting opportunity to study aspects of migration both to and from Ireland between 1600 and 1900. Based at the Folk Park, where the Centre for Emigration Studies has a specialist collection and extensive emigration database, it will focus on Ireland’s experience of emigration over three centuries and will consider the economic, social and cultural impact of Irish migrants on a global scale. Students will study four taught modules over two years and will write a dissertation in their own chosen specialist area.
