    Just wondering what is the official title of the Arts Omnibus degree before I put it down on a CV.

    Should I phrase it as Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in (insert majors here)?

    Couldn't find anything about it on the UCD website so its Boards to the rescue again!

    Thanks

    Pretty sure it's bachelor of arts. That's what I have on my CV anyway.

    Once the potential employer sees BA... he/she is going to stop reading and send it straight to the bin.;)

    There's nothing quite like a self-hating arts grad!:pac:

    Put your subjects down! There's a HUGE difference between the skills you'd get in maths, english, economics, history, geography, politics etc!

    You'd be crazy not to put your subjects down.

    Listing the name of the entry route as opposed to the exit route isn't a whole lot of use to anyone.

    Right so I'm thinking of phrasing it as B.A. (Hons.), History and Politics Dual Major.

    That seems the most logical.

    Think I have B.A. in History & Sociology.

    I leave out the dual major bit.
