About the School
The School of Irish Studies is a multi-disciplinary academic department offering a variety of degree combinations, along with possible travel to Ireland, that provide robust academic experiences.
Academics
The academic programs of the School – our undergraduate Major, Minor and Certificate – focus on Ireland’s complex history, politics, culture and heritage as well as the experiences and contributions of Irish immigrants in Quebec and Canada and throughout the global Irish Diaspora. Our faculties’ innovative multi- and interdisciplinary approach to teaching and researching within Irish Studies highlights a wide range of issues, areas, themes and topics of both historical and contemporary significance, with comparative resonances and relevance far beyond Ireland and Canada.
We offer:
- a Major, a Minor and a Certificate in Irish Studies within the Faculty of Arts and Science;
- an array of generous undergraduate and graduate scholarships for incoming and ongoing students, including tuition remissions for many Majors;
- opportunities for students to study in Ireland
- a welcoming and supportive learning environment
- graduate study opportunities
- lectures, performances and other public events featuring scholars and distinguished figures in Irish cultural life;
- community collaborations and social opportunities for students;
- a world-class research culture within the School with collegial and collaborative links to Irish Studies scholars, scholarly networks, programs and universities throughout Canada, Ireland, and around the world.
