Arts & Humanities
While most media coverage of Ireland’s recent economic success has focused on subjects such as IT, Engineering and Science, a developing society must also keep an eye on its cultural and intellectual health. A well-rounded education, including good knowledge of the Arts & Humanities subjects, is useful for everyone. This is the island of saints and scholars after all, so we do have a certain reputation to maintain!
 
The Arts & Humanities area includes a plethora of subjects and courses, covering many of the most renowned fields of human achievement. This section of the guide provides information on Anthropology, History & Archaeology, History of Art & Arts Administration, English, Geography, Librarianship, Philosophy and Sociology. Many courses mix two or more of these subjects in a single degree, so there is a world of choice.
 
Many people who decide to take courses in the Arts & Humanities area don’t have a particular career path in mind. Most courses offer students the chance to take classes in a broad range of subjects, and then specialise in those that most hold their interest. Often, students can end up loving a subject they would never have considered before. The down side is that taking an Arts course doesn’t necessarily prepare you for a professional career as soon as you graduate. However, the knowledge and skills learned do prove useful in almost every professional role.
