As a modern European nation with a fascinating although often turbulent past, Ireland represents an ideal prism for the study of history, literature, and politics. The role of Ireland as an emerging independent nation, as well as part of a broader matrix of British and global history is explored, whilst its outstanding contribution to English literature in writers such as Wilde, Beckett, Joyce and Yeats also feature as part of this absorbing degree. Students can also look to study the causes of the troubles in Northern Ireland and reasons why its peace process acts as a template for other conflicts across the globe. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme facilitates an interesting and rewarding engagement with the true personality of Ireland and its peoples. The aim of this programme is to set aside the simplified and stereotypical view of Ireland and its peoples and to focus instead on the diversity and plurality that inform Irish identity. This programme is available with a Year in China. The Year in China allows undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), following XJTLU's BA China Studies degree classes. XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China please put the option code YC in the Further Choices section of your UCAS application form.

You will explore Irish identity and society from a number of perspectives including the historical, the linguistic, the literary and the ethnographic. You then have the opportunity to choose modules in order to specialise in a specific area. These modules include Modern Irish Language, in Peace and Rebellion, Women in Late Modern Ireland, Politics in the Irish Republic and the Politics of the Irish Question, Northern Ireland 1968 to present.
