The modules are subject to change as the curriculum is revised and reviewed annually. Please check periodically for updates.  | Year 1 | | | Subject Overview - H4 Irish or equivalent required to study Nua-Ghaeilge
>Students of the Modern Irish course study the language (spoken and written) and aspects of literature and culture, learning about the diversity and rich heritage of the Irish language. They will accomplish this in a friendly, open Department that has a strong commitment to Irish and to learning. All lectures, tutorials and workshops are through the medium of the Irish language and the Irish language support centre, An Droichead, provides assistance to students, first year students in particular, who are struggling with the language. This works on a peer-tutoring basis.
>Spoken and written Irish are central to our course and students are given every encouragement and support. Students normally spend a period of residence in the Gaeltacht to develop these skills.
>Our modules allow students to gain a deep appreciation of contemporary Irish literature – poetry, prose and drama. Modules are also offered on earlier periods of Irish literature, including Bardic Poetry, the Fenian Cycle and poetry of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
