LC HISTORY



Subject Content:


The Leaving Cert History course was recently revised and is divided into two distinct fields of study; Early Modern (1492-1915) and Late Modern (1815-1993). Each field is further divided into six Irish topics and six European topics.

Students are encouraged to develop research skills and an appreciation for the society in which they live. It can bring students in touch with human experiences that are very different from their own and present an opportunity to improve their critical thinking.

Assessment consists of two components: A written examination paper (80%) and A research study report (20%)
