What is block release delivery
The practical modules on this course are taught in 3 day blocks of workshops. These will be delivered twice a month and supplemented with independent practical exercises, tutorials and evening online masterclasses
Overview
The award-winning Higher Diploma in Arts in Television and Media Production, developed by SETU Waterford and Nemeton TV in partnership with Udarás na Gaeltachta, has been successfully preparing new media talent since 2006. This course offers an exciting and innovative brand new blend of practical workshops delivered through block release and online classes. The eight-month course is uniquely tailored to the needs of students and is particularly suited to those who wish to develop their skills while also working. It is designed to provide students with the essential practical skills to enter the television, film and audio-visual industries as professionals. Hence, our graduates usually find work immediately upon completing their studies.
The course will offer each of the participants the opportunity to work in a live production environment and at the end of the course each student will have directed or edited his or her own television programme. These programmes will satisfy the broadcast criteria of both TG4 and RTE. As there is a demand for bi-lingual producers, directors and editors, the course will be taught through both Irish and English, therefore enhancing the linguistic abilities of students.
The programme has an entry requirement of an honours degree (Level 8) or equivalent. Level 6 and 7 are also offered as entry requirements in conjunction with Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Applicants with Level 6 or 7 will be evaluated on the television, media or language skills and knowledge that have been gained through life outside of formal education and training. Toisc gur foghlaim chumaisc atá i gceist – meascán de ranganna ar líne agus roinnt ceardlann i Nemeton TV agus IT Port Láirge – feileann an cúrsa thar cionn do dhaoine atá ag obair go lánaimseartha nó go páirtaimseartha.
Múinfear cuid den chúrsa trí mheán na Gaeilge, rud a chuirfidh le scileanna teanga na scoláirí. Déanfar é seo trí iad a thumadh i dtimpeallacht oibre as Gaeilge.
Glacfar le hiarrataisí ó dhaoine gan na cáilíochtaí thuasluaite, ach go bhfuil taithí oibre acu sa tionscal agus an cumas cuí Gaeilge. Déanfar measúnú ar iarrataisí mar seo ó chás go cás. D'fhéadfaí a mholadh d'iarrthóirí áirithe cúrsa Gaeilge a ghlacadh chun a gcuid scileanna teanga a fheabhsú, ach na cáilíochtaí eile a bheith acu.
