Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA) Joint Honours
BA (Hons) (NFQ Level 8)
Degree Structure We encourage you to choose two subjects on your CAO form and we guarantee that you can take these two subjects to degree level. However we also give you the opportunity to study other subjects in first year. Most students complete the BA degree in three years. Students taking an international year will complete in four years.
A First year: Study your two chosen subjects and at least one other (maximum of five in total).
A Second & third year: Study two of the subjects chosen in first year.
Tere are some opportunities to concentrate on one subject during second and third year.
What subject combinations can I choose?
A Subjects are organised into six groups: A to F. Te diagram on page 33 lists the subjects available in each group.
A You can choose a maximum of one subject from any group.
A You can choose between three and five subjects in first year.
A Continue with two of these subjects in second and third year.
How to apply for the BA (Joint Honours) DN500
A Decide on the two subject combination that interests you, and that you think you would like to take to degree level.
A Find that subject combination on the DN500 entry, on page 184. Tere is a three-letter code for each possible subject combination.
A Choose that subject combination on your CAO application as your first preference, e.g. if you are interested in English and History, you put down DN500/ENH.
International Study Opportunities
We encourage you to spend a year at another university in Europe or further afield. Tere are many different opportunities available and they vary with subject areas. You will find details on the individual subject pages.
If you have decided that you would like to spend a year abroad while studying French, German, Spanish or a combination of these, then you can choose a four year degree programme when you apply for the CAO. You will combine French, German or Spanish with another subject in your degree, taken from the subject groups on page 33. Find out more on the subject pages.
Other ways to apply for a BA degree
Single honours If you definitely want to study a single subject in your BA degree, then there are opportunities in Economics, English, History, Philosophy and Psychology to choose this on your CAO applica- tion. You will still take other subjects in first year but you will specialise in one subject in second and third year. Details are on the pages for each of these subjects.
Part time study and mature years applications Te Joint Honours degree (DN500) can be stud- ied on a part time basis (DN501), and some subjects can also be studied in the evening (DN502). Information, including details of subject availability, is available from the BA Programme Office, or
www.ucd.ie/acshs. For applicants over 23 years of age, we
offer a Mature Years Entry pathway. You can find further details in the Application on the Grounds of Mature Years booklet available from
www.ucd.ie/myucd/mature. You apply for the BA, through DN541, in the same way as school leavers for DN500, via the CAO.
