The MA Irish Studies is an interdisciplinary programme that examines the variety and diversity of Irish history, society and cultural practice. It asks a series of questions about Ireland and Irishness, including how did the Irish come to be the way they are, and to what extent are they different from other nations? How has Irish identity changed over time? What are the causes for this process?
This MA introduces students to a wide range of sources and resources, issues and debates about the many-faceted experiences of the people who have lived in Ireland from the earliest times to the present. You will avail of UCD’s unrivalled expertise in many fields related to Irish Studies. Being in Dublin naturally also provides students with easy access to many of Ireland’s key cultural institutions and libraries.

Graduate
My experience at UCD is one that I will always treasure. At first, as an American graduate student coming over to Ireland to study Irish Studies, I was not sure what to expect. All my nerves, however, quickly subsided once I stepped onto the very friendly campus. The MA in Irish Studies exceeded all of my expectations and more. Between the small class sizes, the one to one individual instruction from gifted and knowledgeable faculty and friendly atmosphere, I learned more in a year about myself than I ever thought possible. I would recommend UCD to anyone like myself that loves to take chances and learn out of their comfort zone.
The National Folklore Collection at UCD is one of the largest folklore repositories in the world, Cartlann na gCanúintí (the Modern Irish Dialect Archive) has a unique collection of twentieth-century Irish-language source material, while UCD Archives contain an unrivalled collection of material relating to Ireland’s political history and the formation of the Irish State.
