Explore big ideas. Build real skills. Shape your own future.
If you're curious about the world, love learning, and want a degree that keeps your options open, the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at TU Dublin could be perfect for you.
This is not a typical Arts course. It’s a four-year programme that lets you mix and match subjects based on what you care about—whether that’s media, law, computing, languages, social sciences, or even engineering or music. You’ll get to explore a wide range of topics, try out new ideas, and figure out what you’re passionate about as you go.
What Makes It Different?
- Total Flexibility – Choose subjects that suit your interests and future goals
- Small Classes – Get support from expert lecturers who actually know your name
- Real-World Experience – Learn by doing, with hands-on projects and optional placements
- Choose from a wide range of Majors from across the 5 faculties of the university
- Creative + Practical – Gain skills like critical thinking, communication, and teamwork that employers love
- Chance to study abroad
- 1 - 1 advisor support at each stage of the degree to help you make your choice
Why 4 Years?
Opting for a four-year arts degree over a three-year one gives you more time to explore different subjects, discover new interests, and develop a wider range of valuable skills like critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving. This extra year allows for a deeper, more well-rounded education that can better prepare you for a future where jobs are constantly changing, making you more adaptable and giving you more career options down the line, even for jobs that don't exist yet!
