OFF CAMPUS PROGRAMME In Year 3, you will participate in an off-campus programme. This typically consists of a study abroad placement in Europe, Australia or the USA and/or work placements in a wide variety of settings, in Ireland or abroad. International placements are highly valued and encouraged for the added cultural and linguistic benefits they confer. The off-campus programme provides students with a unique opportunity to discover the world and experience working environments which may also provide future employment for graduates. • Students of Psychology undertake off-campus placement in the autumn semester only and take modules in the spring semester.
UNDERGRADUATE DISSERTATION In your final year, you will complete an Undergraduate Dissertation in one of your degree subjects. This is a unique opportunity to complete an extended piece of research and analysis in your chosen topic, designed with guidance and direction from an academic supervisor in your chosen subject. The undergraduate dissertation will develop your research and analytical skills with a view to employment or further study. • Students of Psychology must undertake their undergraduate dissertation in Psychology, either singly or jointly with their other major subject.

OFF CAMPUS PROGRAMME In Year 3, you will participate in an off-campus programme. This typically consists of a study abroad placement in Europe, Australia or the USA and/or work placements in a wide variety of settings, in Ireland or abroad. International placements are highly valued and encouraged for the added cultural and linguistic benefits they confer. The off-campus programme provides students with a unique opportunity to discover the world and experience working environments which may also provide future employment for graduates. • Students of Psychology undertake off-campus placement in the autumn semester only and take modules in the spring semester.
UNDERGRADUATE DISSERTATION In your final year, you will complete an Undergraduate Dissertation in one of your degree subjects. This is a unique opportunity to complete an extended piece of research and analysis in your chosen topic, designed with guidance and direction from an academic supervisor in your chosen subject. The undergraduate dissertation will develop your research and analytical skills with a view to employment or further study. • Students of Psychology must undertake their undergraduate dissertation in Psychology, either singly or jointly with their other major subject.

Why study a Bachelor of Arts degree at MIC?
• • • • • • • • • • •
The Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree course in the Liberal Arts with three years on campus at MIC and one year on work placement and/or study abroad. Arts graduates are very much in demand for a large variety of careers because the degree programme offers a broad general education which develops the intellect and trains the mind. At Mary Immaculate College, we deliver an Arts Degree which is flexible and wide-ranging, offering 19 subjects in all. The programme is designed to allow students to study four different major subjects in First Year and focus on two of these in Second Year, which they will then continue to study to degree level as joint honours. You can study a combination of subjects from familiar arts subjects such as English, French, German, or History, to newer subjects such as Drama & Theatre
Studies, Media & Communication Studies or Psychology. You can also choose one of the following subjects from our partner institution, the University of Limerick: Economics, Politics & International Relations, Public Administration & Leadership, Sociology, Spanish or Linguistics. In Third Year, you will have opportunities to work, to travel, and to study abroad as part of the off-campus programme.
