International History (M.Phil. / P.Grad.Dip.)

The course consists of seven modules.

The first is a mandatory module, International History: Methods and Themes. This is a year-long module that will introduce you to the frameworks and approaches historians have developed to understand international and transnational history. The second mandatory module is the International History Research Seminar, a year-long module in which students participate in bi-weekly lectures by guest speakers who are leaders in their field.

Students can then select three elective modules which, depending on the availability of staff, are offered in a range of specialties (continental European, Irish, Chinese, US, and environmental history) and study a foreign language or complete an additional seminar on international history methods.

The final requirement is the dissertation, a research project students will develop on a topic in international history that will be supervised by a member of staff.
