Film Studies at Trinity College is a vibrant, demanding and extremely satisfying area of study. Since 2003 Trinity College has pioneered the Republic's first specialist undergraduate course leading to an honors degree. The four years of the course allow students to sample a wide range of national cinemas and become fully immersed in the intellectual currents that flow in and around them. From the very beginning, questions of history, theory and context combine with issues of close analysis and interpretation to provide a course that is both rigorous and rewarding. In this way, students are offered the unique opportunity to develop an intellectual relationship with this most enduring of media.
As a student of modern Irish, you will study Irish and Scottish Gaelic language, literature and culture from the end of the 12th century to modern times. A wide range of texts and authors will be examined and you will be introduced to the elements of linguistic and literary analysis. The course provides an introduction to the critical study of 20th century prose and poetry and to the study of classical modern Irish literature. The social history of the modern Irish language is also analysed. |
