Postgraduate handbook 2005 - Arts
Postgraduate Diploma in History
Course code: 0876 + Mid-year entry available + 1 year
full-time, 2 years part-time + On-campus (Clayton)
Course director: Seamus O'Hanlon
This
course seeks to develop skills in historical analysis and writing and to
acquaint students with key recent debates in specific fields of history,
especially those concerning the nature of history. It will enable students to
study techniques of historical examination of sources and to broaden knowledge
of a number of fields of history. This diploma may be of particular value to
teachers of history, but it is available to any qualified person interested in
pursuing study in history at postgraduate level. The program will consist of a
specially constructed course of study relevant to the previous experience and
future requirements of individual candidates, each of whom will be consulted as
to its design.
A
Bachelor of Arts pass degree, with results of at least credit level in the
third part of a major sequence in history or equivalent, or the Faculty
Certificate in History with average results of credit or above (applicants in
this category are normally eligible to apply for 50% credit towards the
Postgraduate Diploma). Special admission will be considered for candidates
holding a bachelors degree in another discipline or with a different major in
the following cases:
- candidates with substantial experience in the teaching of history in
secondary schools
- candidates with substantial experience in the fields of professional or
public history
- candidates with substantial relevant experience in the fields of archival,
library and museum practice.
