Film & Television Production - Top Up

Practically and creatively led, our Level 8, one-year Top-Up BA in Film & Television Production is delivered in conjunction with and accredited by the University of Wolverhampton (UK). An intensive industry-led programme, the course is taught by academic tutors and industry professionals and is also supported by guest lectures from leaders in the various fields within the Irish Film and Television industry.

A relevant BTEC HND with grades adding up to a minimum of 16 points (Merit =1 point; Distinction=2 points) or an equivalent or higher national or non-Irish qualification. Applicants who have a relevant QQI Level 6 will be considered if their work meets the criteria and standard of a HND. Applicants over 21 with a relevant portfolio and work experience will be considered. Relevant qualifications can be in the areas of media (film, TV, online content) but also arts, design, photography, English, journalism, social sciences, sound and music and drama. All applicants must provide their latest qualification results and a link to an online showcase of work prior to their interview. The showcase should be curated to present only a small selection of the strongest audio-visual work and can also include screenwriting samples (not full-length scripts), other short development work, photography, art, design and any other relevant material. An employer’s/college reference is essential, preferably one of each. All applicants must show an aptitude and commitment to the subject matter and to an intense independently-led year of work and study. Applications will be assessed based on grades, the showcase provided, references and interview.
