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.
