Information & Communication Studies, Education, Geography & Archaeology Summer School
Thursday June 6th, 9.00pm-4.00pm
Find out what it takes to study Information & Communication Studies, Education (Secondary School Teaching), Geography & Archaeology at UCD. Studying these subjects through a Social Sciences degree provides flexibility of thought and a range of practical, research and analytical skills that make graduates highly employable.
Geography is fundamental for understanding the world and is increasingly being used in virtually every field of human endeavour, providing a universal language for understanding, communicating ideas, and providing insights. It’s at the heart of solving global issues such as climate change, inequality, urbanisation, and natural hazards. Geography asks the big questions and gives you the perspective to answer them with advanced technology and a solid knowledge of the world in which we all live. Students will have the opportunity to use and explore some of these technologies first-hand by touring and thinking about key locations for human research and learning how to tell stories about those places through text, photography, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Education – Are you interested in studying to be a teacher of modern languages and/or an Ghaeilge at post primary level? This innovative four-year teacher education programmes prepares high quality language teachers to teach, inspire and lead across the Irish Education system.
Archaeology: Archaeology seeks to understand the past through the study of the physical remains that survive. This includes investigating monuments, artifacts, human and animal bone as well as how people interacted with the environment. The summer school will introduce Archaeology as a subject followed by a visit to The School of Archaeology where visitors can handle artefacts from the school’s teaching collection and learn about how they were made and used.
