The BA in English Language & Literature (MI009) programme will be open to applications via the CAO Available Places facility from Thursday 28th August 2025 at 12 noon.
The BA in English Language and Literature is for those who are fascinated by both spoken and written language, who are aware of the power of language and want to know more about the role language plays in our lives. Programme content is situated in a real-world environment and explores real-world issues through the lens of language and literature.
First year foundation modules in language, literature and the intersection of the two fields will give students a thorough introduction to the area while a range of specialist modules in both language and literature in subsequent years of the programme will provide the tools to analyse a range of texts from poetry to sports news, from the works of Shakespeare to a visit to the hairdressers. Specialist modules include Language as Discourse, the 20th Century Novel, Irish poetry and Prose, Forensic Linguistics and Romantic Literature.
Applicants should apply via www.cao.ie, through the ‘Available Places’ facility.
