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.
The Single Honor and two-subject courses provide a thorough grounding in the basic skills of musicianship and academic study (see below for details). Single honor and TSM students follow the same courses. While TSM students cover all the principal areas of music studied by single honor students, the workload is less than that of the single honor programme. From the second year onwards, and especially in the third and fourth years, both courses offer a wide range of options. Students specialise in one of the following areas: composition, music technology, and musicology (the historical and analytical study of music); and in their final year they undertake a major project in that area. However, the course is designed so that students may also take subjects outside their specialisation. |
