Department of Humanities

 

 

At the Department of Humanities we provide high quality and relevant education in Culinary Arts, Hospitality Studies, Tourism Management, Event Management, Hotel Front Office Management and Social Care disciplines. For CAO 2010, the Department introduced a four-year ab-initio Honours Degree programme in Business Studies with Sports Management. This programme will provide graduates with a thorough appreciation of the dynamic business principles necessary for the successful management of sports related clubs and enterprises.

All our programmes provide a blend of theory and practice through active learning approaches where educators engage with learners in activities which stimulate their interest and enhance their learning. Examples of this learner-centred approach includes a combination of formal lectures, tutorials, group projects, presentations, case studies, educational visits, problem based learning, work placements, simulation activities, role plays, and visiting speakers from the professions and industry. For further information on what the Department of Humanities can offer you, contact us today.

"Social Studies is the right choice for anybody interested in a caring profession. You are trained to the best standard possible and I really enjoyed studying the varied subjects."

Rosemary Lenihan

 
 


"The Front Office Management programme is very appropriate if you are interested in the tourism and hospitality business, and the best part is that you have a work placement component to the programme, which gives you a better understanding of the theory you are learning in college. Currently, I am working in the prestigious 5-star hotel, Adare Manor, as a Guest Relations Agent and my qualification has really helped me secure a successful career in the Hospitality Industry."
