    About

    The MLitt degree is a two year research degree (four years part-time) which combines some taught skills elements alongside a major research thesis of 40,000-50,000 words.

    UCD School of History is an exciting and dynamic place to study. Whether you are an undergraduate or a postgraduate, you will belong to a community working at the frontiers of historical knowledge. The School offers a thriving research culture with a range of seminars and in-house conferences organised. UCD is also very conveniently located for the use of Dublin city centre research and cultural institutions, including the National Library of Ireland and the National Archives where an extensive range of manuscripts and state papers are housed.

    Research Master’s students may apply to transfer to a PhD programme.
