TU Dublin School of Media / Screen Ireland Information Evening

Join us

The School of Media at TU Dublin are delighted to be collaborating with colleagues in the Screen industries to develop a new Level 8 option for those who have been working in the industry for a number of years.

We would now like to take the opportunity to invite members of the Guilds and the wider Screen Industry community to an informal information evening with refreshments in our facilities in the EQ002 East Quad, Grangegorman on the 6th of November at 8.00pm.

About the BA in Screen Industry Practice

The proposed BA in Screen Industry Practice is an 18-month taught part time programme, with a focus on critical reflection and self-directed learning. It will be delivered in a flexible mode to allow participants to continue in full-time careers.

Potential learners will gain entry to the programme via RPEL-- recognition of prior experiential learning. This means that colleagues who have not had the opportunity to engage in formal study to level 7, but who can demonstrate, via a substantial portfolio, that they have achieved comparable learning in the workplace, will be able to enter the equivalent of the final year of a four-year degree programme.

The degree will be comparable to the other BA honours programmes in TU Dublin and will be open to applicants across the Screen Industries: it is not a professional or department-specific qualification. The aim is to “level the playing field”, allowing experienced practitioners an accelerated route to an honour’s degree.

This supports the School of Media’s commitment to “provide lifelong learning opportunities for learners at every level and [to] provide multiple full and part time entry points and clear progression pathways for all,” in support of our stated purpose: “to link the cultural, technological and societal, to encourage debate, foster lifelong learning, produce imaginative, practical innovations and solutions, and give voice to the matters that impact on society.”
