Module Objective: The aim of the module is to allow students to apply the research, analysis and communications skills of history to extra-curricular activity and to award credit where the student has demonstrated that they have engaged in reflective learning arising from their participation in those activities.

Module Content: History as a discipline develops a set of research, analysis and communications skills geared towards understanding complex real world problems on the basis of often incomplete information. Historical events are driven forward by human action - choices made by historical actors who seek to transform their current context. This module offers undergraduates an opportunity to explore how to apply the skills of the historian to everyday problems and to demonstrate this in a portfolio which will enhance their organisational, leadership and lifelong learning, analytical and problem-solving skills.

Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
· Demonstrate a knowledge of a range of readings on the skills of the historian.
· Demonstrate an ability to gather and analyse information on real world problems or challenges.
· Present an action plan to positively affect those problems or challenges.
· Reflect on the outcomes of that activity, with particular reference to their learning and self-development.
· Demonstrate the ability to organise their work so that they can work effectively and independently.
· Demonstrate that they can bring the critical thinking, analytic and presentation skills of the discipline to bear in their assessed work in this module.

Module Objective: To examine the coming of literacy and Christianity and the forging of identity in early Ireland.

Module Content: The coming of literacy and Christianity brought Ireland into contact with the civilisation of the Mediterranean world. The new learning was rapidly internalised, and resulted in a creative literary culture that contributed significantly to European civilisation. This literature adds a new dimension to our understanding of the early Irish - how they understood their past and reconciled it with the Christian present. It places Irish learning in its proper European context, showing how Irish ideas spread to the Continent, shaping and influencing attitudes there.

Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
· Interpret the effects of the formative impact of Classical, and especially early Christian, writings on early Irish literary culture.
· Demonstrate an ability to interpret critically the early Irish primary sources (in translation) in the broader context of the civilisation of the Mediterranean world.
· Demonstrate knowledge of key historical events and individuals and their role in the creation of the learned culture of early Ireland and in transmitting that learning to continental Europe in the early middle ages.
· Present an argument demonstrating a critical understanding of the central themes of the course and evidence of consideration of the secondary literature.
· Construct and evidence-based argument founded on interpretation of sources in their historical and cultural contexts.
· Demonstrate ability in the critical interpretation of the Irish historical sources and to contextualise the sources in the broad inheritance of learning from Late Antiquity.
· Demonstrate an ability to carry out independent library-based research.
· Employ discipline specific conventions for the representation of evidence and the formulation of an argument.

Module Objective: To undertake a case-study in early modern international relations.

Module Content: Using a mix of primary and secondary sources this module examines the causes, course and conclusion of the wars between Elizabeth I and Philip of Spain.

After the Battle of Kinsale in the winter 1601-2 came the difficult job of making peace.

· Construct a relevant argument about the Armadas course that demonstrates an adequate use of evidence and a selection of historical interpretations.
· Locate, gather, sift and synthesise source material presented during the Armadas course.
· Work independently on the Armadas course under the constraints imposed by the component of assessment, for example: word limit, time limit and deadlines.
· Think critically and creatively about the Armadas course and to bring the necessary skills to their assessed work in this module.

Module Objective: To encourage students to undertake a critical reappraisal of the Reformation in the light of recent research.

Module Content: Despite the prominence of secular thought in the Renaissance, early-modern Europe was repeatedly swept by rumours and conspiracies about the end of the world. These fuelled increasingly intense and wide-spread efforts to hunt down witches and heretics or to persecute the Jews, who were believed to be bound by a demonic pact to pervert the Church. The advent of the Reformation served only to magnify the sense that Christendom was under siege and that Armageddon was near. This course examines the increased frequency of exorcisms, witch trials, pogroms and persecutions - and the attempts of church leaders to regulate them - in order to explain the fanaticism of early-modern Europe, its battle with 'superstition', and the gradual backlash of scepticism, materialism, and intolerance of religious 'enthusiasm' that slowly unfolded into the Enlightenment.

Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
· Demonstrate understanding of the origins and development of the Reformation.
· Describe the historiographical trends relevant to this topic.
· Locate, gather, sift and synthesise an adequate body of secondary literature relevant to the topic.
· Identify and evaluate primary source materials in the light of the thematic concerns of the course.
· Construct and communicate appropriately a relevant argument that demonstrates an adequate use of evidence and the exercise of historical judgement.
· Employ discipline specific conventions for the representation of evidence and the formulation of an argument.
· Construct an evidence-based argument founded upon analysis of sources, consideration of secondary literature, and sensitivity to anachronism.
· Work independently under the constraints of disciplinary norms, word limit and deadlines.
