The M.Phil. in International History offers students the chance to pursue historical research outside the bounds of the nation state. The programme allows students to immerse themselves in the questions of the past, develop research skills, study foreign languages, and become familiar with scholarship in the fields of transnational, comparative, and global history. Students can choose courses from geographic specialties in modern history, including European, Irish, Chinese, US, and environmental history. Topics of interest could include the movement of culture, people, ideas, or trade across national borders, or issues such as imperialism, globalization, transnational social movements, and the history of war and conflict.
