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.

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.
