Course summary

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.
