History at the University of Limerick is one of the most popular subjects at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Students acquire and develop skills in research, analysis, presentation and debate by exploring key periods and themes in the history of Ireland, Europe and beyond.

Historical reasoning and imagination are essential human activities, and are the means through which we understand the changing role of individuals, societies and institutions.

Studying history at undergraduate, postgraduate or at doctoral level prepares the future graduate to be creative, imaginative, informed and articulate, ready to face the challenges of today's world.

UL History graduates are equipped with the skills to think critically, write analytically, and communicate effectively in order to navigate an increasingly complex world. They have acquired the analytical tools to critically distil historical information, to interpret meaning and determine what information is accurate as opposed to false. They are passionate about what history has to offer human understanding and wish to advance historical awareness and knowledge.
