Overview

This Gaeilge and French or German or Spanish course at Dublin City University will prepare you to teach at post-primary level in two languages. You will take Gaeilge, along with a choice of either French, German or Spanish.

Alongside developing your language abilities, the course also builds your skills in the areas of teamwork, leadership, communication and creativity. These are vital for a career in post primary teaching, but are also key to a variety of other professions. In this four-year course, you’ll benefit from studying in small class groups within the larger university community.

Careers

Your degree will be recognised by the Teaching Council of Ireland, allowing you to register as a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) and apply immediately for employment in second-level schools as a post primary teacher of Gaeilge and French, German or Spanish.
