Overview

The new MA in Documentary Practice draws from the school's 30 years of experience teaching film and television in the School of Communications. It's the response to the increasing interest from students and the growing demand in the industry for long form documentary content. The School of Communications is recognized as the best media studies department in Ireland and ranks among the top 150 out of nearly 4,500 universities globally in the field of communications (according to QS Subject Rankings). The institute is dedicated to offering a range of advanced master's programmes that reflect the high-level knowledge and real-world experience of the faculty. The course has been uniquely equipped with brand new camera equipment, a dedicated post-production lab as well as access to the school’s professional sound and television studios. What makes this MA programme truly unique is its holistic and practice based approach to non-fiction storytelling. Students will immerse themselves in a multidisciplinary journey encompassing photography, audio production, and video production. Additionally, they will explore theory through extensive readings and the analysis of key documentary films and projects. The culmination of this immersive experience is the capstone project, a production-based dissertation. After a meticulous development process, students will pitch their projects at an industry-standard level. Upon completion, these projects will be showcased in a public festival screening at the prestigious Irish Film Institute. The commitment to quality education includes maintaining low student-teacher ratios, ensuring personalised attention, and providing consistent access to cutting-edge equipment within the School. While prior production knowledge from an undergraduate degree or industry experience is ideal, our programme is designed to challenge and elevate students from the very beginning, guaranteeing that their final dissertations meet the high standards expected in the professional world.
