BA Local History, Cultural Heritage and Environment
This degree combines the expertise of Ireland’s leading history department for the study of local history, with one of the most well regarded geography departments in the country; study folk traditions, Gaelic Literature and Culture with modules from the Centre for Irish Cultural Heritage and Ancient Classics, Anthropology and Sociology.

• MH804 is a 4.5 year programme, with defined core modules and the option to register for optional modules at the beginning of each year, from year 2 onwards.
• New students of these degrees may have been out of the education system for some time. We therefore dedicate time across all 4.5 years to study skills and student support.
• In some cases, applicants can use previous learning towards the degree award (after year 1) through the University’s Recognition of Prior Learning system.
