Céimí MA
Thug mé féin faoin MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge anseo in UCD mar gheall ar an réimse leathan ábhar atá ar fáil ar an gcúrsa seo. Is féidir modúil a thógáil a chlúdaíonn an Ghaeilge ó 1200 anuas. Cuireann foireann acadúil a bhfuil cáil go náisiúnta agus go hidirnáisiúnta uirthi na modúil seo ar fáil, foireann a bhfuil réimse leathan, ilghnéitheach taighde curtha ar fáil aici. Cuirtear ar mo chumas díriú ar mo réimse spéise féin ach tugtar dúshlán dom freisin mo thuisicint ar an nGaeilge a fheabhsú ar bhealaí éagsúla.
BA le 2.1 sa Nua-Ghaeilge nó a chomhionann, agus ní mór ainm agus seoladh beirt mholtóirí a sholáthar, a bheadh inniúil ar do chumas intleachtúil, chomh maith le d’aibíocht agus do dhíograis, a mheas.
Oiriúnach dóibh siúd a bhain bunchéim amach nó atá fostaithe le tamall i bpoist ina n-éilítear saineolas suntasach ar theanga agus ar litríocht na Gaeilge, nó dóibh siúd ar mhaith leo a gcur amach ar na hábhair seo a fhorbairt.
Applicants whose first language is not English are also required to submit evidence of their English language proficiency.
You may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), as UCD recognises formal, informal, and/or experiential learning. RPL may be awarded to gain Admission and/or credit exemptions on a programme. Please visit the UCD Registry RPL web page for further information.
