French, read in combination with another subject, is designed to provide you with a thorough grounding in all aspects of French. The result is that you leave university with a high standard of fluency in the language, both written and spoken, and with a wide knowledge of major aspects of French literature, culture and society. The development of reading, analytical, and critical skills, in the form of both oral tasks and written exercises, also forms an integral part of this course.
Modern Irish can be studied either in combination with one other subject as part of a two-subject moderatorship (TSM) programme or in the single honor Early and Modern Irish programme TR022. When studied in combination with another subject, both are normally studied for three years and one subject only is studied in the fourth year. An honors degree is awarded in both subjects.
As a student of modern Irish, you will study Irish and Scottish Gaelic language, literature and culture from the end of the 12th century to modern times. A wide range of texts and authors will be examined and you will be introduced to the elements of linguistic and literary analysis. The course provides an introduction to the critical study of 20th century prose and poetry and to the study of classical modern Irish literature. The social history of the modern Irish language is also analysed. |
