What's Arts in NUIG like?

Lollipop95

I was considering doing Arts in NUIG next year and picking the following subjects:

English
Journalism
Creative Writing
Drama

I might substitute one of those subjects with Spanish as I heard it's very easy to learn

Has anyone done these subjects and tell me a bit more about them?
Thanks

Journalism isn't an undergrad option at NUIG, AFAIK.

Are you planning on taking the B.A Connect in Creative Writing? If so, you'd be taking Creative Writing and three other subjects in 1st year before dropping one and keeping CW and 2 subjects in Second Year.

It is,I think...according to this anyway but I might be reading it wrong http://www.nuigalway.ie/courses/undergraduate-courses/arts.html I would be doing 3 years studying those 4 subjects,instead of 4 years

Sorry three of the four subjects you listed have restrictions:

For Journalism and Creative Writing

Subjects in italics are specialisms that are only available in the relevant
BA CONNECT programme.

For Drama

The subjects of Drama in Group Two and Theatre in Group Five relate only to students registering for the Denominated BA (Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies).

I think they are on the tables for completeness and do cause confusion.

It is now.

This is the first year it has been offered as a BA Connect course.

Its limited to 15 places.

As others have already mentioned you cannot do most of those subjects unless on the specific BA Connect programmes which generally have points a good bit higher than the normal BA.

If you decide to do English you will cover in first semester of first year in fiction: Jane Eyre, 1984, Butcher Boy and A Handmaid's Tale, Medieval: Beowolf, Dante's Inferno and in Poetry its American Poetry

Any more you want to know on English or other subjects that may interest you. pm me

Big failure rate in beginner's languages, as people think they are easy. Oh Spanish is easy to learn... well up to Buenos días ... yes but people think they can skip lectures and cram notes... disaster... you can't do that with a language unless you are a linguist and have natural ability.
