Overview

The Arts and Humanities (Hons) programme from Carlow College equips students with the essential tools needed for the 21st century by nourishing critical thinking, developing communication skills and preparing for future choices. Students who take this programme can open their mind to different ways of thinking and understanding; they become reflective thinkers who are socially engaged and appreciate learning as a lifelong activity.

Quick Facts:

The programme is designed in such a way that students can study a broad range of areas or narrow their focus to the subjects they want to pursue. Also, to help students prepare for life in college, there are special modules in first year, such as academic and digital skills.
There will be a work placement available to all students in year three. Placement will be relevant to a chosen subject. For example, students majoring in Theology will have the opportunity to gain teaching experience in either Primary and Secondary level with our partner schools in the Carlow area.
