Undergraduate Studies in History

As an undergraduate student of history at NUI Maynooth you will examine human experience over time to understand and explain the origins and evolution of the societies we live in - the complex processes of social change, the choice of one set of political or ethical values over another, the context in which radical ideas arose – history is the study of all of these things and more. Understanding the identity of nations, races or creeds will give insight into the causes of conflict, how countries were formed and societies evolved, and the way we live today.

The Department of History also provides for international studies and runs a number of undergraduate student exchange programmes with St Mary's College, Notre Dame (USA), Voronezh State University (Russia), and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, as well as several partner universities within the Erasmus network.
