PRE-UNIVERSITY LIBERAL ARTS ENGLISH OR LANGUAGE OPTIONS

GENERAL STUDIES 5M3114 OR LANGUAGE AND EUROPEAN STUDIES 5M2073

WHAT IS PRE-UNIVERSITY LIBERAL ARTS?

This one-year course, similar to our other arts programme, aims to prepare participants for entrance into Arts programmes in Irish universities and colleges, as well as preparing students to work in a European environment both in Ireland and abroad. However, the Liberal arts option attributes more of a focus on The Arts, English Literature and European languages. Students will have the option of taking a language, Irish or Spanish, along with European Studies or can focus on a more English Literature based course, which will lead to a general studies option.
