Welcome to the Australian Studies Centre at UCD Dublin which is located within the School of History and Archives. Australian Studies currently includes the following range of activities:
- The Keith Cameron Chair of Australian History, a visiting appointment to teach and research Australian history at UCD
- Courses in Australian history for second- and third-year undergraduates
- A regular Australian Studies research seminar which is open to members of the public
- A small Australian Studies Library, which students are entitled to access.
The Australian Studies Centre does not have the resources to host visitors. We are happy to hear from researchers who would like to offer a paper to the Australian Studies seminar so do get in touch if you are planning a visit to Dublin.
