DN530 BA Humanities Languages, Linguistics & Cultures (AYS1)

The BA Humanities is an innovative, interdisciplinary four-year programme that combines multiple subjects to provide coherence and depth to student learning within nine carefully structured pathways. Taught by expert academics in the Arts and Humanities, the BA Humanities programme offers both intensive training in particular disciplines and unique skill sets that are developed by bringing together subjects that and relate closely to each other. Students will gain essential life and employment skills, including critical, analytical and creative thinking, and expert communications, while learning how to be adaptable and flexible in preparation for employment in a dynamic work environment.

The Languages, Linguistics and Cultures pathway is designed for students who are seeking a high level of language and intercultural competency by developing effective communication and analytical skills. It takes a holistic approach to language by fostering linguistics, alongside literary and cultural approaches. Students can choose between French, German, Greek, Italian, Irish, Latin, and Spanish, with Portuguese and Welsh also available as minors. Irish modules are directed towards its status as a modern working language in the European Union and towards broadening its scope nationally and internationally. This pathway focuses on specific oral and written language skills and critical intercultural and interdisciplinary skills. Its emphasis on modern language teaching methods combines theoretical and practical resources with a range of primary material such as literary texts, material culture, natural spoken language, and computer-mediated texts. Learning activities critically explore communicative practices and students will engage with a variety of approaches to language and language related products, including approaches based on literary, linguistic, historic and cultural studies.
