Profile
Launched in 2018, the BA in Film & Digital Media offers students a unique combination of theory and practice across the areas of film and digital media. The core focus of the program is the development of student’s creative and critical skills, positioning graduates to become content creators across a range of media platforms and giving them the entrepreneurial skills and flexibility required to work in today’s rapidly changing media environment. This course provides a comprehensive grounding in the theory and history of film and digital media as well as training in film practice, screenwriting, and digital development and design. Students become familiar with industry-standard tools and techniques, in addition to developing the fundamentals for creative professional practice in applied art and design. The course is located within the Huston School of Film & Digital Media, offering students the opportunity to become part of Huston’s creative community and connecting them to the local and national media industries from within a world-renowned University environment. Established in 2003 under the patronage of the Huston family, our graduates include an Academy Award and Emmy nominee for screenwriting. The Huston School has developed a wide range of links with the media industry in Ireland and graduates from the School have gone on to work in film production and direction, screenwriting, game design, e-learning, film festival programming, and lecturing amongst other areas. As a UNESCO City of Film, European Capital of Culture 2020, and the home of the Irish Film Board, Galway is situated at the heart of Ireland’s creative and cultural sector.
