    If you are really that passionate about languages then go for applied languages. One of the main elements of it is that people doing applied languages have a better chance for going abroad for their co-op (work experience) while a majority do this in Ireland. You would probably also go to a country where the languages you study are spoken for Erasmus (study abroad).

    You could probably do the same languages in arts- but you can probably take more language focused modules in AP.

    I'd say go for Applied Languages if it's languages you're into. Most of my friends are in this course and it really suits them all. The focus is on languages from the beginning whereas I think you have to take other subjects in Arts for first year at least. I'm not in Applied Languages but a very similar course (Language, Lit & Film) and if I could go back, I'd probably just go for Applied Languages.
