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.
Music is a discipline that stretches back to the ancient world. One of the seven original liberal arts, music maintains a place in the University as a subject of broad and passionate interest to composers, musicologists, performers, technologists, and theorists.
Studying music will allow students to engage with a range of traditions to acquire a profound understanding of how music works in theory and in creative practice. Students who are interested in understanding music and its place in society, developing music technology skills, writing music, or improving their skills as an informed performer, this course could be for them. A music degree will prepare students for a wide range of careers in the creative arts, journalism, music production, arts management, research, and teaching.
