Dioplóma/MA Léann an Aistriúcháin Ghaeilge


Cuspóirí an chúrsa

Aistritheoirí Gaeilge a oiliúint is aidhm leis an Dioplóma/MA. Is féidir an cúrsa a dhéanamh go lánaimseartha in aon bhliain amháin, nó go páirtaimseartha laistigh de dhá bhliain, ag tosú i Meán Fómhair sa dá chás. Bíonn an bhéim ar dhlúthmhaoirseacht indibhidiúil na mac léinn agus ar theagasc i ngrúpaí beaga.

Struchtúr an chúrsa: An Dioplóma

Dioplóma ar bhonn seimeastar, a bhfuil ceithre mhodúl theagasctha ann, atá sa chúrsa seo. Déantar staidéar orthu seo i gceann no eile den dá sheimeastar, agus measúnaítear iad trí obairchúrsa agus/nó trí scrúdú scríofa. Bronntar Dioplóma Léann an Aistriúcháin Ghaeilge ar iarrthóirí a n-éiríonn leo pasmharc (50%)  a bhaint amach i ngach ceann dá modúil theagasctha. Bronntar Dioplóma le Moladh ar iarrthóirí a n-éiríonn leo meánmharc 60% nó níos mó a bhaint amach i ngach ceann dá modúil theagasctha.

Struchtúr an chúrsa: MA

MA ar bhonn seimeastar, a bhfuil sé mhodúl ann, atá sa chúrsa seo. Tá ceithre mhodúl theagasctha ann agus tráchtas arb ionann é agus dhá mhodúl. Déantar staidéar ar na modúil theagasctha i gceann no eile den dá sheimeastar, agus measúnaítear iad trí obairchúrsa agus/nó trí scrúdú scríofa. Téann iarrthóirí a n-éiríonn leo pasmharc (50%)  a bhaint amach i ngach ceann dá modúil theagasctha ar aghaidh agus scríobhann tráchtas. Moltar go mbronnfaí dámhachtán chéim MA nuair a bhíonn na scrúdaitheoirí sásta leis an tráchtas. Bronntar MA le Gradam ar iarrthóirí a n-éiríonn leo meánmharc 70% nó níos mó a bhaint amach. Bronntar Dioplóma, faoi rogha Bhord na Scrúdaitheoirí, orthu siúd a bhaineann pasmharc amach i ngach ceann dá modúil theagasctha, ach nach gcuireann tráchtas sásúil isteach nó nach gcuireann tráchtas isteach ar chor ar bith.

Dátaí measúnachta

Déantar scrúduithe scríofa i Mí Eanáir agus i Mí Iúil. Socraíonn teagascóirí spriocdhátaí don obairchúrsa. 15 Meán Fómhair spriocdháta an tráchtais do mhic léinn lánaimseartha agus 1 Bealtaine do mhic léinn pháirtaimseartha.

Riachtanais Iontrála

-          Céimithe a bhfuil Céim Onóracha sa Ghaeilge acu; nó

Course objectives

The aim of the Diploma/MA is to train Irish-language translators.  It may be taken full-time over one year, or part-time over two years, commencing in both cases in September.  The emphasis is on close individual supervision of students and teaching in small groups.

Course structure: Diploma

The course is semester-based and consists of four taught modules.  These are studied during one or other of the two semesters, and assessed through coursework and/or written examination.  Candidates who achieve a pass mark (50%) in each of their taught modules will be awarded the Diploma in Irish Translation Studies.  Candidates who achieve an overall average mark of 60% or above will be awarded the Diploma with Commendation.

Course structure: MA

The course is semester-based and consists of six modules: four taught modules and a dissertation, which is equivalent to two modules.  The taught modules are studied during one or other of the two semesters, and assessed through coursework and/or written examination.  Candidates who achieve a pass mark (50%) in each of their taught modules proceed to the dissertation, and recommendations for the award of the degree of MA are made when candidates have satisfied the examiners in the dissertation.  Candidates who achieve an overall average mark of 70% or above will be awarded the degree of MA with Distinction.  Those candidates who, having reached a pass mark in each of their taught modules, submit an unsatisfactory dissertation, or fail to submit a dissertation, may, at the discretion of the Board of Examiners, be awarded the Diploma.

Assessment dates

Written examinations are held in January and June.  The submission dates for coursework are arranged by the tutors.  The submission dates for the dissertation are 15 September for full-time students and 1 May for part-time students.
