Students of English study all aspects of language and literature from Anglo-Saxon to contemporary times. If you have a particular interest in and enthusiasm for reading, discussing and writing about literature, you should read on and look at the single subject degree in English as a great education base for your future. Refer to Arts Omnibus page for subject description. It is recommended that you have at least Grade C3 in Higher Level Leaving Certificate English.
In your first year (called Stage 1) you take 12 modules over two semesters. You must study core modules in English and typically two or three other subjects including up to two modules from outside the BA Programme area. Second and third year (Stage 2 & 3) students progress with a major in English. Students also take two elective modules from within or outside their main subject area at Stages 2 and 3 of their degree programme. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
