Diploma in Irish History – Online (Start Anytime) / September 2021

This course will trace the course of Irish history during the period of direct rule from London in the ‘long’ 19^th century (1800-1923).  Conducted over a ten-week period it will encompass the main themes and events during the slow struggle for the return of some semblance of sovereignty and, ultimately, the attainment of political independence. In the first part of each session a general overview of a particular theme (Land, Home Rule) or a chronological period (1800-23) will be provided. This will then be followed by the close analysis of case studies and texts or documents.

The course is offered three times per year, in January, April and September.
