About TU171 BA (Hons) in Screen Industry Practice
The BA in Screen Industry Practice is an 18-month part-time programme, with a focus on critical reflection and self-directed learning. Aimed at experienced professionals who have been working in the screen industries for more than seven years, it will be delivered in a flexible mode to allow participants to continue in full-time careers.
Potential learners will gain entry to the programme via RPEL––recognition of prior experiential learning. This means that colleagues who have not had the opportunity to engage in formal study, but who can demonstrate, via a substantial portfolio, that they have achieved learning in the workplace, comparable to National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) Level 7, will be able to enter the equivalent of the final year of a four-year degree programme.
The BA in Screen Industry Practice supports the School of Media’s commitment to “provide lifelong learning opportunities for learners at every level and [to] provide multiple full and part time entry points and clear progression pathways for all,” in support of our stated purpose: “to link the cultural, technological and societal, to encourage debate, foster lifelong learning, produce imaginative, practical innovations and solutions, and give voice to the matters that impact on society.”
