Postgraduate Study
Here in Trinity College Irish Department we offer three taught postgraduate courses - the Diploma in Old Irish (1 year) and the M.Phil. in Medieval Irish (1 year). The MPhil in Medieval Irish has two main specialisations in terms of modules offered - Classical Irish modules, which will be available every year, and Early Irish modules, which build on the work of the Diploma, and therefore these modules run in alternate years, i.e. Diploma runs next in 2025/26 , MPhil (Early Irish modules) currently running 2024/25 (next intake in 2026/27)- but they can be taken separately. MPhil Classical Irish will be avalable in 2025/26.
Recently launched for a January 2025 intake, we also have a part-time Postgraduate Diploma in Irish for Teachers (see link below).
We also welcome applications for postgraduate research. Research students may read for a PhD (3-5 years) under the supervision of one of our staff members.
