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.

Geography is central to how we understand the world. In an increasingly globalised world, understanding how populations interact with the physical environment is critical to planning sustainable societies. At UL Geography we pride ourselves on educating the next generation of geographers and empowering young people with the skills to make positive change.

Studying geography at the University of Limerick equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge to tackle and plan for the future needs of society. Through lectures, lab work and field trips, students will be equipped to identify, analyse and explain complex human and natural phenomena.
