Trinity College Dublin

Course Description

• The History modules at Trinity allow students to study a remarkable range of types of history – whether cultural or political history, military, or social history, environmental history or the history of ideas – from the early Middle Ages to the very recent past
• The course offers survey modules allowing students to grasp the broad patterns in history, specialist modules where they may study topics of particular interest to them in small classes, and opportunities for students to pursue their own independent research
• The four-year program allows students to lay firm foundations in the first two years, with wide-ranging modules on medieval and modern history, Irish, European, American, environmental and global history, as well as on historical methods and approaches
• The final two years of the program allow students the chance to study several specialist modules in-depth and to undertake independent research on a subject of their own choice. The breadth and depth of study in this program is unique in Ireland and has few rivals internationally
• Trinity is a leading university internationally for the study of History with faculty members and staff who have published extensively in the fields of Irish, British, European, and American history ​
