Irish Studies is an interdisciplinary programme that examines the variety and diversity of Irish history, society, language, literature and cultural practice, analysing the complex processes through which Ireland and Irish identities have been constructed. It asks a series of provocative and stimulating questions such as how meaningful national identity is in an age of globalisation, and how processes of emigration and immigration impact on Irish culture, society and identity. By exploring literary texts in manuscript and print culture, language origins and development, media and film, celtic civilization, folklore, archaeology, history, sociology, and art history, students will understand the evolution of the Irish historical and cultural heritage in a national and global context.
The programme is aimed at national and international students with an interest in literary origins and contemporary literature and media, film and popular tradition, the arts and Irish heritage in a global context. It is very suitable for those who wish to develop a career or further studies in these areas.
Students take both core modules and three option modules.
