History is the examination of human experience over time. It attempts to understand and explain the origins and evolution of the societies we live in. It also explores 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, and much more.
 
The Department’s long-standing reputation for excellence and leadership in historical scholarship both in Ireland and internationally is one reason for the popularity of History at Maynooth. We have also kept our discipline vibrant, engaging and of practical value to students. We provide a solid grounding in the practice of history and boast expertise in a wide range of specialist topics such as the history of emotions, heretics tried by the Spanish Inquisition and the Vikings in Ireland and Scandinavia.
 
In addition to acquiring knowledge and an understanding of our past, our students develop intellectual adaptability, a capacity for critical assessment of complicated issues and personalities, and an ability to evaluate conflicting interpretations.
