Irish with Drama BA (Hons)

Students on the programme will study Modern Irish language (grammar, pronunciation, writing) and Modern literature, as well as optional modules (depending on combination) in the development of the language since the Gaelic Revival, Irish Cultural Studies, Folklore, Irish Dialects and Translation. The literature modules will give you a solid understanding of writing in Irish from the early 20th century to the modern day, including the novel, short story, drama and verse, and the language modules will help you to achieve a high level of competence in written and spoken Irish.

Drama allows students to develop a broad base of knowledge of Drama practices and systematic approaches to the analysis of works in performance. Students are therefore able to prepare themselves for the kinds of mosaic careers characteristic of the creative industries, and increasingly more common across a range fo sectors.

There are particular areas of specialist practice which can be developed as students progress through each level of the degree.
