We are committed to using Irish as a primary medium of communication for students taking Irish as your Major subject. Our Irish programmes play a vital role in preserving, sustaining and celebrating Ireland’s Gaelic literary and linguistic heritage as well as serving the demands of the Irish language sector within the local and international job market.
We’ll support you to acquire the necessary competence to fully participate in the Irish language community as a confident and independent user of the language and to gain stimulating and fulfilling employment when you graduate.
On the History Minor pathway you will explore the processes that have shaped modern society through selected topics at each level.
On the History Minor pathway you will explore topics such as Film and the Vietnam War, Witchcraft and Magic, the Russian Revolution, United States’ Foreign Policy and many more. We present Historyin unique and exciting ways. Rather than traditional lectures and seminars, you will learn mainly in interactive workshops. You will create podcasts and digital presentations, design websites, organise conferences and produce research portfolios.

Ulster University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
