Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Irish Music

Program Overview

If you are an Irish traditional musician or singer and wish to develop your performance skills and knowledge of your practice as well as widen both to include other forms of artistic expression, this is the course for you. Applicants will be proficient performers but do not necessarily have to have a formal music and dance educational background (ie. Leaving Certificate Music or grade examinations such as those from Comhaltas or London College etc.).

Why study Irish Music?
This programme will allow you to develop your performance skills and also develop your scholarly knowledge and enquiry around your own disciplines. However, and very importantly, you will be introduced to other performance practices and scholarly traditions in order to gain new insights into the worlds of music and dance, enhancing your creative potential. You will also study a number of vocationally focused modules aimed at allowing you to translate your artistic and scholarly creativity into a fulfilling career.

As a student, you will be based at the world-class facilities of the Irish World Academy building, equipped to the highest standards with cutting edge performance and rehearsal spaces and technological infrastructure. The co-operative education period allows you to construct your own work-experience, giving you invaluable experience of the opportunities open to you when you graduate.

The programme prepares you for many different career paths including professional performance; further study; work in cultural institutions; media related posts; archival work; performance production; portfolio careers combining the preceding and others in entrepreneurial ways.
