Vision and Values Statement
We promote autonomous and collaborative learning by providing a vibrant academic environment for the teaching and use of the Irish language, supported by our multi-media language learning centre and our Student Space (An Seomra Caidrimh) to encourage Irish-language usage amongst the student body. All teaching and communication is conducted through the medium of Irish and in small groups. This programme uses teaching, learning and assessment approaches such as oral, written examinations, project work, essays and presentations, and a minor dissertation on a topic relating to the individual student's academic interests.

Programme Outcomes

• apply the use of accurate spoken and written Irish in both academic and professional contexts, eg write analytical essays, give interviews in broadcast and print media; debate and analyse current affairs and academic topics; be proficient in the use of on-line and traditional resources.
• appreciate the study of Irish language and literature as an integral part of Irish society past and present in a national and global context.
• construct a coherent and research-focused argument in Modern Irish in the areas of linguistic and grammatical study, literature and cultural studies.

• demonstrate an ability to produce a work of research under supervision and a capacity to undertake future unsupervised research.
• discriminate areas of academic specialisation that are best suited to participants' strengths as postgraduate students, as research scholars and as professionals.
