History is the pursuit of how we got here and the stories that we tell ourselves to explain the past. We explore histories of race, class, gender, migration, capital, medicine, violence, religion and environment within the dynamics of an ever-changing world. Working from ordinary to extraordinary, local to global, fact to fiction you will develop critical thinking, argument and analysis skills that lie at the heart of careers in media, government, culture and education.

 

About This Course

Students who take History as a Joint-Honours, three-year degree will study History in combination with one other major subject.  Explore the past, examine a wide range of periods and topics from around the globe and study the different ways that the past can be understood.

Students can choose from a broad range of modules including: Rome to Renaissance • The United States from 1776 • Radicals & Revolutionaries in Global History • Ireland’s English Centuries • Modern Ireland 1800- 2000 • Modern Europe 1500-2000 In first year, students on the Joint-Honours degree also take the Creating History module, where you study in a small group with a historian to develop essential critical research and analytical skills.

In second year, you begin to specialise in the areas of History that you are most interested in, focusing on particular countries, themes, and periods. Modules include: History Today • Islam & Christianity • Nazi Germany • A History of Anti-Immigration • The Irish at War, 1914-1998 • Global Asia •  History from the Margins: Race, Class, and Identity in Modern Global History

In third year you deepen your historical interests through our small-group, specialised research-based courses. In weekly two-hour seminars, you will engage in primary source research, deliver class presentations and write your own research project. You also have the option of studying abroad. Modules include: • Genocide & Mass Violence • Modern Japan • The Irish Revolution • Manufacturing Truth • Madness & Civilisation • Sexuality and Society in the Middle Ages • Revolutionary Russia  • Queer History in Practice • Digital Humanities.
