Overview
Irish Studies is a broad field of area studies utilising a range of disciplines to explore holistically the history, culture and society of the island of Ireland and its global relationships.
The modules available reflect the range of Irish Studies expertise across the university and are designed to enable students to undertake research across a wide range of themes in and approaches to Irish Studies, to obtain research methods training in one or more disciplines, and to prepare to write a major dissertation in their chosen field of specialisation.
The aims of the programme are:
• To enable graduates to undertake interdisciplinary postgraduate studies in Irish Studies and gain various benefits:
• An advanced appreciation of the value of interdisciplinarity in Irish Studies.
• An advanced understanding and experience of relevant research methods and skills.
• An advanced appreciation of the value of academic approaches to some issues of historical and cultural debate and of contemporary public concern in Ireland.
• A deepened knowledge of specific themes in Irish Studies reflecting the student’s personal interests and research agenda.
Normally a strong 2.2 Honours degree (with minimum of 55%) in a relevant subject with evidence of study of Ireland, or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University. Applicants who hold a 2.2 Honours degree below 55% in a relevant subject with evidence of study of Ireland (or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University), who can also demonstrate relevant professional experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
