Film at Trinity College Dublin is built on strong academic and intellectual foundations – core courses include the history of Hollywood filmmaking, introduction to Non-Western cinemas, aspects of European cinemas, Irish cinema and theories of the digital image. Students will also be introduced to basic screenwriting and filmmaking, using the format of the writers’ room, and exploring the potential of the smartphone to create mini-dramas. They will study documentary theory and follow this up by making a short documentary film. In third and fourth year, students will build on the fundamentals they have learnt through more advanced options, while always maintaining a balance between critical learning and practical outputs.
In an increasingly interconnected and multicultural world, advanced language skills and intercultural competencies will equip students for a wide variety of careers and will give them a distinct competitive advantage. Language competence is one of the biggest skills gaps in the Irish labor market and language graduates are highly sought after in a variety of sectors.
Within the Modern Languages program students study two modern European languages. It is the most intensive exposure to languages and cultures that Trinity College Dublin has to offer. Students can choose between French, German, Irish, Italian, Russian and Spanish. Apart from French and Irish all languages can be studied from both advanced and beginners level.
