SCHOOL OF GEOGRAPHY, ARCHAEOLOGY AND IRISH STUDIES

The School of Geography, Archaeology  and Irish Studies offers BA, Diploma, MA, MSc, MLitt and PhD programmes; experiential and field-based learning  is a central component of all programmes.  It is a research intensive School with highly dedicated staff and a student-centred ethos.

We have built a strong reputation for excellence in research and teaching, with productive national and international collaborative networks.  Community and civic engagement at the local, national and international levels is central to our School ethos. Engagement through community participation and partnerships, research collaborations and community outreach activities, extends our impacts beyond the university.

The School encompasses a broad range of research interests, and much of our research emerges through our key research clusters: Archaeology of Ireland and Atlantic Europe; Environmental Change; Geopolitics and Justice; Planning and Sustainability; Rural Studies;  the Palaeoenvironmental Research Unit and Irish Studies: historical, cultural and social development of modern and contemporary Ireland.
