Study abroad
Students have the chance to participate in a study week abroad.
Cities visited in the past include Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Rome
and Florence. In addition, you may apply to study at a university
in France, Germany, Italy or Spain during the Senior Freshman
(second) year as part of the Erasmus programme. As you will
be required to attend lectures in the language of your host
institution, you must possess the necessary linguistic fluency.
Assessment
Assessment is by coursework, end-of-year examinations, and a
final-year dissertation.
Career opportunities
In recent years graduates have been employed in universities,
galleries, museums, publishing houses, art salesrooms,
architectural heritage and journalism in Ireland and abroad,
as well as in a broad range of administrative, commercial
and media-based employment outside the field of art and
architectural history.
