Research Seminars
Attendance at two of the departmental research seminars is required throughout the year. Seminars take place once a week in term time and each week students must attend the series devoted to contemporary Irish history and the series on early modern history. Students are also encouraged to attend related events such as conferences and symposia in order to obtain as broad a perspective as possible on current research methods in modern Irish and European history.
