*'In my view this is the best course of its kind on offer in Europe'
*(Prof Les Back, Goldsmith College London - External Examiner 2003-2006).
*'This is the first and only course of its kind in Ireland; it is 
excellently
organised and caters to a wide variety of students from within and outside
Ireland'
*(Prof Nira Yuval-Davis, University of East London, External Examiner 
1997-2000)

Applications are sought for the MPhil in Ethnic and Racial Studies - 
founded in
1997 and now in its ninth year. This postgraduate programme, which offers
specialist theoretical and practical training in issues relating to 
'race' and
ethnicity in Irish, European and global contexts, is well placed in 
Ireland -
traditionally a country of emigration and recently an immigration 
destination -
where ethnic conflicts have been central to the construction of Irish
identities. The MPhil is run by the Department of Sociology whose 
members have
an extensive publishing record in the area. Upon successful completion, this
full-time programme grants students a postgraduate degree of Masters of
Philosophy in Ethnic and Racial Studies. The 12-months programme begins in
October each year, and consists of two full-year core courses, seven 
one-term
courses and a dissertation. In addition, the programme hosts seminar series,
workshops and international conferences. Candidates should normally hold 
a good
first degree in the social sciences or have a social sciences component
in their first degree.

The programme attracts an ethnically diverse international student body 
and our
graduates play key roles in research and policy organisations in Ireland and
globally; many have continued to PhD research.

Over the years the programme has hosted many key scholars in this area,
including Prof Zygmunt Bauman, University of Leeds; Prof David Theo 
Goldberg,
University of California, Irvine; Prof Philomena Essed, University of 
Amsterdam;
Prof Noel Ignatiev, Massachussetts College of Art; Prof Luke Gibbons, 
University
of Notre Dame, Prof Howard Winant, University of California, Santa Barbara.
