Social Work (MA) Expand all Course Overview The MA in Social Work (MSW) programme is located within the School of Political Science and Sociology. It is an innovative programme, one of the newest programmes in the country, committed in particular to the promotion of human rights and social justice. In high demand from its inception in 2004, the MA in Social Work programme provides accredited professional education and training in social work. The programme is currently accredited by the statutory regulatory agency, CORU (see http://www.coru.ie/), the Health and Social Care Professionals’ Council. One of the strengths of the Master of Arts in Social Work Programme (MSW) at NUI Galway is the small size of class membership, which facilitates supportive relationships between students and staff members. The programme is delivered as part of the provision of the School of Political Science and Sociology, also home to the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre. Throughout the teaching, the connection between academic learning and practice application is central. We benefit from excellent partnerships with practice teachers and statutory and voluntary organizations which employ social workers across individual, family and community services. We are continually striving to develop and foster these relationships. Where possible, opportunities for international placements are also offered. The Social Work Programme is well placed to provide high quality theoretically informed research and up-to-date practice applied professional education. We have a dedicated Social Work Staff Group that works alongside School colleagues to provide students with a broad range of teaching and learning experiences and access to knowledge and expertise from local, national and international perspectives. We offer joint teaching and learning opportunities with other disciplines within the School (e.g. Social Policy & Community Development) and are connected to the Child and Family Research Centre (see http://www.childandfamilyresearch.ie/) and a range of research clusters, which are partnered with the Life Course Institute (see http://www.nuigalway.ie/lifecourse). This means that staff throughout the School play a key role in relation to teaching and supervising research dissertations by students. The Programme also benefits from inter-disciplinary training with colleagues in other schools (e.g. School of Health Sciences), professionals in practice and service users and carers. The maximum annual intake of Social Work students is 20. A dedicated teaching room, with extensive computer facilities, is available to students. The programme adheres to the definition of social work provided by the International Federation of Social Workers (see http://www.ifsw.org/) and expects Social Work students to adhere to both professional and university codes of conduct (see http://www.iasw.ie/ and http://www.coru.ie/ for codes of ethics and practice). Applications and Selections Who Teaches this Course The current Director of Social Work is Prof Caroline McGregor. The Practice Learning Co-ordinator is Ms Marguerita McGovern. The Year One Co-ordinator is Dr Paul Michael Garret. The Year Two Co-ordinator is Mr Declan Coogan. Other staff members of the School of Political Science & Sociology and the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre staff are members of the programme board, module convenors and contributors. Requirements and Assessment Students will be expected to pass all modules, including the practice component of the first year before progressing to the second year. Each module will be assessed through a variety of assessment methods including written assignments, individual and group presentations, podcasts, written examinations and minor dissertation. Students will require at least a 50% pass in each module. All Year 1 academic and fieldwork modules must be passed before progression to Level 2. No ’compensation’ between modules allowed. Fieldwork The Fieldwork component of the MSW is 50% of the entire period of the course. Students are placed in a variety of statutory, non-statutory and voluntary agencies. Geographically these agencies are along the Western seaboard, though there are also a number of placements in the Midlands and the East of the country. In Year 1 the placement runs for 14 weeks from early January to mid-April. In Year 2 the placement is also 14 weeks, from September to December. Each student is supervised by a professionally qualified social worker (the Practice Teacher) and is visited on placement by a Personal Tutor to discuss the student’s learning progress in developing the skills required for professional practice. International placements have been available in Chicago, South Africa and the Philippines. These are, in general, self-funded.

This is achieved by - Preparing students to undertake an ethnically based practice integrating both theory and research, policy, skills and reflection. - Putting in place the foundations of generic learning applicable to all fields and methods of practice. - Sustaining the focus on human rights and social justice within social work practice. Students will learn professional autonomy and accountability; develop interpersonal and professional relationships; practice effective communication; build towards personal and professional development; assess and be able to deliver a quality service; develop knowledge, understanding and skills in a creative environment. Underpinning all of these domains is the basic principle of respecting and advocating for the rights of the service user. Through the course, student participants are encouraged to: develop an appropriate skills base within practice placement settings lay an emphasis on the need for social workers to make use of social theory and research evidence facilitate the development of critical and reflective thinking and practice Students are expected to show evidence of a commitment to promoting social justice and human rights throughout their studies and practice.

Respecting values, working within an ethical framework and practicing in a diverse cultural society are core components which are applied to my every day work in a voluntary organisation, and I have been able to specialise in areas that are of particular interest to me to improve my social work ‘toolkit’.

Nua-Ghaeilge [Modern Irish] (MA) Expand all Course Overview Is ar an Luan agus ar an Máirt a bheidh léachtaí an chúrsa lánaimseartha ar siúl. Is ar an Luan amháin a reáchtálfar an cúrsa páirtaimseartha. Forléargas ar an gCúrsa An bhfuil fonn ort ardcháilíocht a bhaint amach i Léann na Gaeilge? An bhfuil suim agat breis scileanna taighde, anailíse agus cur i láthair a fhorbairt? An bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh ar thaighde a dhéanamh ag leibhéal na dochtúireachta amach anseo? Má tá, b’fhéidir gurb é an MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge an cúrsa duitse. Is í Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh an ceannródaí náisiúnta ó thaobh Léann na Gaeilge. Tá saineolas ag foireann Roinn na Gaeilge ar gach tréimhse de chuid na Gaeilge, ón luath-thréimhse go dtí an teanga chomhaimseartha. Tá áiseanna taighde den scoth ag an ollscoil agus rinneadh infheistíocht mhór le déanaí i gcartlanna na hollscoile, rud a thugann buntáiste ar leith don mhac léinn ar mian leis/léi taighde a dhéanamh sna bailiúcháin Ghaeilge atá againn. Tá an Ghaeltacht ar leac an dorais againn agus tá teacht ag na mic léinn ar áiseanna foghlama agus taighde den scoth sna campais Ghaeltachta atá ag an ollscoil i gConamara agus i nGaoth Dobhair. Má dhéanann tú an cúrsa lánaimseartha (bliain amháin), beidh léachtaí agus seimineáir ar siúl dhá lá sa tseachtain. Is féidir an cúrsa a dhéanamh go páirtaimseartha chomh maith (thar dhá bhliain) agus beidh léachtaí agat lá amháin sa tseachtain sa chás sin. Agus an cúrsa seo críochnaithe agat, beidh tú in ann: - Feidhmiú go cruinn ag leibhéal gairmiúil agus acadúil trí mheán na Gaeilge sa scríbhneoireacht agus sa labhairt; - Anailís chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann comhaimseartha na Gaeilge: an Chritic Liteartha, an Chritic Chultúir agus Shóisialta agus an tSochtheangeolaíocht; - Cur chuige idirdhisciplíneach a léiriú san anailís chriticiúil ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann na Gaeilge; - Do chuid taighde agus anailíse a chur i láthair go cumasach agus go héifeachtach ag an leibhéal cuí acadúil; - Taighde nuálach, neamhspleách a dhéanamh ar shainábhar de do rogha féin agus an taighde sin a léiriú i bhfoirm tráchtais. Baineann na torthaí foghlama céanna leis an Dioplóma Iarchéime seachas nach bhfuil taighde neamhspleách i bhfoirm tráchtais le déanamh.

I mo shaol gairmiúil mar iriseoir is gá scagadh agus póirseáil a dhéanamh ar eolas. Go minic, is gá an t-eolas atá ar leas an phobail a aithint, a scaradh ó eolas eile agus a chur in iúl don ghnáthdhuine ar shlí atá sothuigthe. Tairbhe as cuimse a bhí san MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge chun mo chuid scileanna teanga agus anailíse a fhorbairt. Ba luachmhar an taithí chomh maith gur leagadh béim ar scileanna cur i láthair mar chuid den Mháistreacht. Ailbhe Nic Giolla Chomhaill | Mac Léinn PhD Thug mise faoin MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge sa bhliain 2012. Bhí mé díreach tar éis BA a bhaint amach agus ní raibh mé iomlán cinnte cén treo ina rachainn ó thaobh gairm bheatha de. Thug an MA deis dom modúil a roghnú a bhí an-éagsúil óna chéile ach a chuir ar mo chumas scileanna anailíse luachmhara a fhorbairt agus tuiscint den scoth a fháil ar litríocht agus ar chultúr na Gaeilge. Spreag an cúrsa seo dúil mhór sa taighde ionam agus shocraigh mé leanúint den taighde agus tabhairt faoi dhochtúireacht in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. Ní fhéadfainn tabhairt faoin dúshlán sin gan na scileanna teanga, scríbhneoireachta agus cur i láthair a d’fhoghlaim mé le linn na máistreachta. Amanda Bernhardt & Seanchán Ó Cinnéide | Massachusetts Tugadh an deis don bheirt againn an MA i Nua-Ghaeilge a dhéanamh sa bhliain 2012. Le deontas ón Choimisiún Fulbright, bhí muid in ann bogadh go Gaillimh agus tabhairt faoin iarchéim le chéile. I dtús báire, mar Mheiriceánaigh ba dhúshlán mór é na cúrsaí a dhéanamh ag leibhéal chomh hard sin os rud é nach raibh an cúlra teanga céanna againne agus a bhí ag na mic léinn eile. Thug foireann Roinn na Gaeilge neart tacaíochta dúinn, áfach, agus tá muid thar a bheith buíoch díobh uilig. Ní amháin gur saineolaithe amach is amach iad sna hábhair atá á dteagasc acu, múinteoirí agus daoine den scoth atá iontu fosta. Anois, agus muid ar ais sna Stáit, bíonn muid ag teagasc na Gaeilge sna coláistí áitiúla agus ag stiúradh comhráite beo i nGaeilge ar líne. Bhí taithí ar dóigh againn i nGaillimh.
