University of StrathclydeThis postgraduate course is for anyone with an interest and some experience in genealogy and related subjects. You may wish to study the field in more detail or use it in your career. It’s of particular interest for:
archivists
lawyers & paralegals
geographers
land agents
heritage sector staff
historians
librarians
museum staff
records agents
It's also suitable for those who are interested in the following:
developing, evaluating or refreshing their expertise in genealogy, records, archives, documents, palaeography and heraldry
advancing their academic and professional achievement in these subjects
gaining a deeper, more critical understanding of the field, its literature and professional practice
providing more expert knowledge and advisory capacity to employers and members of the public, such as in Family History Centres
Academic requirements
Usually, a degree or similar evidence of study skills is required; however, non-standard educational or professional qualifications will also be considered. Some experience in genealogical (or other relevant) research is also needed.
The Centre for Lifelong Learning offers several eight-week online and on-campus courses. These are intended to provide the basic skills and knowledge required to facilitate progression to the Postgraduate Certificate/Part-time MSc Year 1. Completing one or more of these courses may serve as evidence of the necessary study skills and relevant genealogical experience.
More course information can be found on the Centre for Lifelong Learning web pages.
Entry will generally follow successful completion of the PgCert/Part-time MSc Year 1.
Students who've gained equivalent academic qualifications at the PgCert level may be accepted directly onto the PgDip/Part-time MSc Year 2. Those seeking advanced-standing admission may include prior learning in recognised courses and genealogical-based experience as entry criteria. Further information is available on request. Please get in touch with our Course Administrator at scosh@strath.ac.uk.
You must complete the PgDip/Part-time MSc Year 2 at an appropriate level before being allowed to continue to the third year of the part-time MSc. Direct entry to the third year of the part-time MSc is not available.
For the full-time MSc, candidates should hold an undergraduate degree. Previous postgraduate qualifications, such as an MSc, may also augment first degrees.
Some experience in genealogical (or other relevant) research is required, and we may ask to see examples of reports and charts you have created.
Students who already hold the PgCert or PgDip in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies from Strathclyde or specific other relevant qualifications from specified institutions can transfer credits up to a defined limit. However, no fee discounts will be available. These students may wish to join the appropriate level of the part-time MSc programme.
20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
