Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: QP53
Here's what Queen's University Belfast says about its Irish and Broadcast Production course.
Students on the BA Irish and Broadcast will receive intensive tuition in the Irish language with 3-4 hours of language instruction each week. Students on this pathway choose from a wide range of modules relating to Irish culture and society such as the short story, poetry, Gaelic identity, mythology and Scottish Gaelic. In Broadcast, students are introduced to the widest possible experience of modern broadcasting and media production combined with critical thinking and excellent online skills. Whether it is programme making for online or traditional broadcast, live or on location, in front or behind the camera or microphone, you will gain substantial practical skills supported by the kind of theoretical and critical skills employers tell us they want in new entrants to the Creative Industries.
Global Opportunities You will have a chance to spend up to a year studying business in the US or you can take a semester at another university in Europe. Students on this programme can also elect to take an additional year to work in industry, gaining valuable skills and experience.
Industry Links We have former students in senior positions in most Irish language sectors and we maintain good links with media production companies, the translation sector and language promotion agencies. Several modules include links with local collaborative partners, which provide students with opportunities to network with experts in the field or to gain experience of particular industries prior to graduation.
Career Development It is an exciting time to get involved in broadcasting and media production in Northern Ireland. The region has one of the fastest growing creative sectors in the UK economy. Broadcast programme making for entertainment, news, documentary, current affairs and online is a huge part of the industry here. The work placement module provides students with the opportunity to connect with many of the local production companies.
Internationally Renowned Experts Queen’s has world-leading experts in the history of the Irish language and literature and had the highest ranked research unit including Irish and Celtic languages in the most recent Research Excellence Framework.
World Class Facilities Queen’s has an excellent library for Irish materials and an outstanding collection of resources relating to Ireland.
Student Experience Students receive intensive instruction in spoken and written Irish and the School supports a 3-week summer school in the Donegal Gaeltacht each year.
Further Study Opportunities Students completing this course may proceed to Masters level study in both Media and Broadcast, and in Irish.
