The quality of a degree is as important as the subjects selected, and about 70% of employers who contact UCC look for graduates with overall good marks, rather than from a specific discipline.This is a full-time three-year honours programme. You will study four subjects in Year 1. In Year 2 you will choose two subjects from Year 1 and continue to degree level.Arts at UCC offers:

  • 30+ subject choices (see course details below)
  • a unique five-step work-placement module
  • the opportunity to change your mind on any subject choices in the initial weeks of Year 1

Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment including essay, in-class test, learning journals.Some modules carry a percentage of the mark from Year 2 into final year.
