The Postgraduate Diploma in History allows students to enroll in coursework modules from a designated Masters program in History (totaling 60 credits) without the requirement of completing a thesis. This qualification serves as recognition for students who successfully finish all taught components of their History Masters program (60 credits) but do not proceed with the thesis component (30 credits). As a standalone Level 9 postgraduate credential, we encourage applications from individuals interested in taking only the coursework modules available in the MA Irish History, MA Local History, MA European History, or MA Military History & Strategic Studies programs, or even combining modules across different programs (up to 60 credits maximum).
