Centre for Maritime Historical Studies
The Centre was the first of its kind in a British university.
It can call on a wide range of expertise in the University in maritime
historical studies and seeks to promote research into economic,
social, political, naval and environmental aspects of the British
maritime past from the earliest times to the present day, drawing
also on European and international experience.
The Centre holds termly research seminars (in conjunction with the
Society for Nautical Research), an annual international Maritime
History Conference, and a twice-yearly Strategic Policy Studies Group
symposium (with associated publication) in collaboration with the
University's Politics department and the Royal Naval College Dartmouth, bringing together
academics, Ministry of Defence officials and senior service personnel.
Other occasional international conferences are
also held here.
This programme offers a unique opportunity to students interested in naval history. Exeter is the only British University to offer a programme dedicated to naval history at this level and the distance learning variant of the programme is in response to considerable demand from those who are unable to travel to the university. This new online course is complementary to the existing MA in Naval History and was initiated by Professor Nicholas Rodger, the leading academic in the field who continues to be closely involved. The programme draws upon leading academics with specialist knowledge including Dr Michael Duffy, Dr Roger Morriss and Dr Duncan Redford.
