Pre-University Liberal Arts

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.
