History of Art and Architecture (M.Phil. / P.Grad.Dip.)

All students take the core module Research Methods in Art History, which introduces students to the principal sources and methodologies applicable for advanced study in the history of art and provides an overview of the conceptual underpinnings of the discipline.

Students choose four elective modules that offer detailed engagement with periods and media. Students can choose to follow an Irish art strand throughout their course or pick more widely from the diverse selection of modules available. Elective modules offered in recent years include: Medieval Monastic Ireland; The Artist and the Printed Image: Concepts, Technologies and Dissemination; Portraits and Portraiture in Dublin Collections; Interpreting Ireland’s Built Heritage; Arts of the Book (Islamic); Ireland and France, 1800–2000; Gender, Art and Identity; Visualising Climate Change; Constructing Drawings.
