What courses require honours Irish?

DB10

Does anyone know, or can you tell me an easy way to look them all up?

I don't want to look through hundreds of courses to find out. The reason Im asking is because Im considering dropping to ordinary but I don't know what course I'm doing yet. So I want to know what options I lose if I drop down..

I heard there was a roundabout way of doing it without hons irish though..

Search through the courses your interested in. Unless your considering something with Irish eg Media and Irish in UL or something that has Irish in the degree, and Primary teaching I don't think you need Higher Level Irish for any other course. Ask your CG teacher

Yea there is some way around it, but I think you have to contact the college or something and then you'd have to sit an Irish exam when you go into college...

... or the one from NUI Maynooth.

Very handy for people who don't want to go back to repeat LC Irish as a mature student, and those courses concentrate far more on written and spoken Irish rather than on literature.

You need Hons Irish for Law?

So if I didn't get at least a C3 in irish and then got a diploma in Irish, would I be able to go on to study primary teaching?

Not necessarily "a" diploma in Irish (for all I know there may be courses out there which are not accepted by the Teacher Training Colleges, so I'm answering carefully!) but certainly the Dioplóma sa Ghaeilge offered by NUI Maynooth is accepted by the TTCs as satisfying the Irish requirement for entry into primary teaching, and Rainbow reckons the one from NUI Galway is as well, which would make sense as they are quite similar courses.

Does it say it on the website? Cause I can't seem to find the course...

Never mind I found it. I think I'd rather repeat than do 3 years of only Irish :P lol

No, you don't need honours Irish for Law. what law course requires honours irish , law and irish is probably the only law course that requires honours irish.

DB:10 here are the course's that definitely require honours Irish: http://www.qualifax.ie/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=26

NUI Maynooth one ...

... and yes it does: "Glactar le Dioplóma sa Ghaeilge ó OÉ Má Nuad in áit onóracha ag an Ardleibhéal sa Ghaeilge san Ardteistiméireacht mar riachtanas iontrála don Chúrsa Iarchéime sa Bhunmhúinteoireacht."

Where are you getting 3 years?! 0_o

It's a part-time course ... one night a week and a couple of Saturdays each year for 2 years! o_0


The NUIG one is similar, I can't actually find it on their website though ... strange!

I thought it was a higher C1 for primary teaching?

I'm pretty sure you can do a search on Qualifax for this kind of thing.
