Location of National University of Ireland, Maynooth
History is the examination of human experience over time. History attempts to understand and explain the origins and evolution of the societies we live in. The complex processes of social change, the choice of one set of political or ethical values over another, the context in which radical ideas arose: History is the study of all of these things and more. Understanding the identity of nations, races, or creeds gives us insight into the causes of conflict, how countries were formed and societies evolved, and the way we live today.
As a student of History, you will acquire intellectual adaptability, a capacity for objective assessment of complicated issues and the ability to evaluate conflicting interpretations.
