Abstract
This article speaks to recent developments in educational strategy and policy in Ireland which concern the broad value of the Arts and Humanities, and creativity in general, in society, culture and the economy. The debate around the value of the Arts and Humanities is a topic which also has global resonance in an international context. The article focuses particularly on undergraduate education in the arts through an exploration of the employability agenda as it impacts on Arts and Humanities students. The recent curriculum innovation in this area at UCD is used as a brief case study.
