    You'll need to a postgrad to get into primary teaching after your arts degree.

    It's very difficult to work out in advance where you could be placed (actually, I'm not even sure if the postgrad for primary can be done in Galway).

    Let me know if you have any difficulty finding stuff out, I know a Career Guidance counsellor very well so I'll ask him for you.

    Just did a quick check with the afforementioned guidance counsellor.

    The postgrad takes place in any of the places where you can do undergraduate primary teaching (so that'd be Mary I, Marino etc.).

    Alternatively, there's the Hibernian course. Which I didn't really ask that much about.

    Hope this helps.

    No, you don't.

    Just take the subjects that you're interested in and when you're finished, apply to get into the postgraduate course in primary teaching at one of the training colleges.

    You will need to pass an Irish exam to get in though so you'll need fairly good Irish. But you don't need a degree in Irish to get to this standard.

    For instance, you could do the diploma in Irish in NUIG. There would be less work than taking Irish as part of a degree but you'd still get a very good standard (above that required for primary teaching so the exam would be of little bother to you).
