Profile
This fully qualifies you to teach second-level religious education and music in just four years. This course offers a streamlined track to a profession in post-primary teaching, qualifying you to teach RE and music to the Honours Leaving Certificate Level. In addition to teacher education, you’ll receive instruction on how to make the most of teamwork, leadership, communication, and creativity. Your coursework will also cover foundational and professional studies in education; theology, religious studies, ethics; and music. The study of music combines an opportunity to develop your own musicianship to a high level with a chance to experience and engage with a wide range of musical styles through performance, historical, analytical, and contextual inquiry, and composition. Subject areas include compositional techniques, music history, and contextual studies, solfège/musicianship, and keyboard skills, choral and instrumental performance, Irish traditional music, choral conducting, and music technology. All students participate in performance ensembles (choir, trad group, orchestra), which play an active role in the university’s cultural life, and prepare you for the diverse challenges involved in music teaching and musical life more broadly.
Notes
"Ireland bases its tuition rates on residence (3 of the last 5 years living in the EU) despite whether you're an EU citizen or not. In other words, only those who have resided in an EU country 3 of the last 5 years are eligible for the discounted rates."
