LLM European Law & Public Affairs
This programme offers a genuinely inter-disciplinary approach to European studies for law students in order to analyse how our understanding of the nature of the European Union is shaped by our particular disciplinary perspectives.

MA in European History (UNICA)
The MA in European History is an initiative that brings together partner universities in different cities across Europe. The programme encourages students to think comparatively about European history, to understand diverse perspectives on the continent’s past, and to develop their own research project within a European framework. This is a two year, four semester programme. Students start and complete their programme at UCD. In the intervening two semesters, students can choose to study at one or two other partner universities. The School of History has long-standing relationships with universities in Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Vienna. Students develop their own networks with graduates from other countries and there is an annual summer school meeting, which brings together students from the different universities. In their final semester at UCD, students write a dissertation on a comparative or transnational European topic.
