Aim
This Liberal Arts programme aims to provide a foundation in subjects which students may
wish to study at Third Level. It also introduces students to methods of study, writing skills
and research skills that are required for successful participation in Third Level education.
While graduates of this course may apply to any Third Level Institute, Plunket College is a
partner to the Trinity Access Programme (TAP). Our students visit Trinity College to engage
in a number of “taster activities” throughout the academic year, including library visits, a
student shadowing day and attendance at a number of lectures.
