When choosing your year 1 subjects, it is essential to check the programme page and check what the groups are like from years 2 to 4 as they do change slightly. You will be keeping on two subjects from year 2 so you need to make sure that you have at least two subjects that do not clash. 

Notes

French, German, Japanese and Spanish are available at both beginners and post leaving certificate level. 

Places in Psychology are not limited for first year, but there are only 30 places available for years 2-4. Those places are allocated on a competitive basis based on semester 1 grades. 

A full year by year breakdown of modules can be found on the prospectus page for Bachelor of Arts.
