DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY
SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND PHILOSPHY
TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN
‘This course is highly theoretical and provides sophisticated forms of
instruction in the most up to date innovations within the field. In
my view this is the best course of its kind on offer in Europe’
(Prof Les Back, Goldsmith College London – External Examiner).
A few places are left for the MPhil in Ethnic and Racial Studies for the
academic year 2006-7. This full time 12-months programme provides
theoretical training in critical race studies, and is the only one of its
kind in Ireland. The programme consists of two full-year core courses,
seven one-term courses and a dissertation which is submitted in
September.
Applicants should hold a good first degree in the social sciences or have
a social science component in their first degree. In exceptional cases,
applicants without a first degree may be accepted if they can demonstrate
that they possess the equivalent of a good first degree.
The programme is ideally suited to public and voluntary sector workers
and attracts an ethnically diverse international student body. Graduates
serve in key social policy, NGO and research positions in Ireland and
abroad.
