Geography is a discipline inherently suited to addressing current and future societal challenges. It asks questions about how and why human, physical, and environmental phenomena vary across space and time. Geography is intrinsically interdisciplinary and, as the world becomes increasingly interconnected, geographers are well placed to bring their understanding and skills to bear on social and environmental issues.
Today, geographical knowledge and experience are more important than ever, helping us to understand a dynamic and rapidly changing world. Trinity College Dublin's staff are world leaders in their chosen field and bring that expertise to their teaching. Students will get to study in the classroom and the field, and undertake independent research in Ireland, overseas and even on Mars!
History is about people. Studying History means studying lives, events and ideas in times and places. History embraces everything from the rise and fall of empires, or the birth of new ideologies, to the contrasting everyday lives of people in a whole range of settings, across time and across the globe. Studying History means developing critical skills, learning to express their ideas and arguments clearly, and becoming self-directed in their studies.
