Irish Folkore Undergraduate programmes in the subject are designed to give students a thorough grounding in the principal forms and genres of Folklore, with due reference to their historical background and international context. The programmes are aimed at students with an interest in popular tradition, vernacular culture and Irish studies, who wish to develop a career or further studies in these areas. The programmes are also focused on international students, given the essentially universal nature of the subject, and on mature students, whose life experience often provides an ideal background on which to base their studies in Irish Folklore. The programmes’ educational values are centred on the promotion of a spirit of enquiry regarding the nature, persistence and dynamics of tradition in everyday life. They encourage students to develop a reflective approach to their studies, while also emphasising the centrality of field-work and archival sources to their research and learning. Teaching is carried out in lectures, in small-group tutorials, and in seminar-style participatory classes. Archival and primary sources are widely used in all modules, and students are also encouraged to make use of digital archive resources in their research and learning. Assessments take the form of written examinations, individual research projects, journal-keeping, in-semester essays, and oral presentations. They also include assignments which give students the opportunity to formulate their own research questions and to pursue given topics using archival data-sets. View full course information here.

An Béaloideas Is é is aidhm le cláir fochéime san ábhar seo ná buneolas a thabhairt do mhic léinn ar na príomh- chineálacha Béaloidis atá ann, mar aon le míniú ar a gcúlra staire agus a gcomhthéacs idirnáisiúnta. Tá na cláir dírithe ar mhic léinn a bhfuil suim acu sna traidisiúin mhóra, sa chultúr coiteann agus sa léann dúchais, daoine ar mian leo gairm bheatha a bheith acu i gceann de na réimsí sin nó tuilleadh staidéir a dhéanamh orthu. Tá na cláir dírithe ar mhic léinn idirnáisiúnta freisin, toisc gur rud uilíoch é an béaloideas, agus ar mhic léinn lánfhásta, ar minic a dtaithí saoil a bheith ina cabhair mhór dóibh agus iad ag tabhairt aghaidh ar Léann an Bhéaloidis. Cuid lárnach de luachanna oideachais na gclár is ea an fhiosracht maidir le nádúr, seasmhacht agus dinimic an traidisiúin sa saol ó lá go lá. Moltar do mhic léinn machnamh a dhéanamh ar na ceisteanna a ndéanann siad staidéar orthu, ach san am céanna, cuirtear béim ar a thábhachtaí atá obair allamuigh agus foinsí cartlainne dá dtaighde agus dá bhfoghlaim. Déantar an múineadh i léachtaí, i ranganna beaga teagaisc le grúpaí beaga, agus i ranganna rannpháirtíochta atá ar aon dul le seimineáir ó thaobh stíle de. Baintear úsáid as an-chuid foinsí cartlainne agus bunfhoinsí sna modúil go léir, agus moltar do mhic léinn leas a bhaint as na hacmhainní cartlainne digití atá ann ina gcuid taighde agus foghlama. Déantar measúnú ar mhic léinn bunaithe ar scrúduithe scríofa, tionscadail aonair taighde, dialanna a choinneáil, aistí téarma agus cur i láthair ó bhéal. Tá tascanna i gceist chomh maith, rud a thabharfaidh deis do mhic léinn a gcuid ceisteanna taighde féin a mhúnlú agus taighde a dhéanamh ar ábhair ar leith ag baint úsáid as eolas cartlainne.
