Profile
The Arts with Children’s Studies is the only degree in Ireland and Europe that enables students to combine an arts degree with a specialism in children’s studies. It enables students to take two traditional arts subjects alongside Children’s Studies to degree level. The expertise acquired through a BA in Children’s Studies will assist students in identifying the career path that best suits their particular talents and ambitions. It is the perfect platform from which to pursue careers in social care work, advocacy, the creative arts, education, and community development. It provides an excellent basis for postgraduate study in social work, play therapy, speech and language therapy, and primary and/or post-primary teaching, and our graduates are very successful in gaining entry into these competitive programs. Recent graduates are currently working in speech and language therapy, play therapy, social work, and public policy, as well as in teaching and educational support in Ireland and abroad. A unique feature that sets it apart from the other streams (ACS and APP) is that it allows students to study two teachable secondary school subjects, in addition to studying childhood, ideally positioning them to apply for the PME in post-primary school teaching.
