Hide-Introduction
Soláthraítear deis do mhic léinn ar an iarchéim seo iniúchadh níos doimhne a dhéanamh ar theanga, litríocht agus saoithiúlacht na Gaeilge trína gcuid sainscileanna sa Ghaeilge scríofa agus labhartha a fhoirfiú. Cabhrófar le mic léinn a gcumas taighde agus anailíse a fheabhsú trí bhunscileanna taighde a shealbhú agus trí bheith ag déileáil le foinsí eolais de chineálacha éagsúla. Ritear an clár ar bhonn éilimh agus déantar é a sholáthar trí mheán na Gaeilge.

Guidance will be provided to students to help them improve their research and analytical capacity through the acquisition of basic research skills and their engagement with various types and sources of information. The programme is run subject to demand and is delivered through the medium of Irish.
