    Hi there,

    I'm currently doing my Undergrad. Media Studies Degree in N.U.I. Maynooth. I'm considering applying for a Master's Degree for when I finish my Undergrad. Degree. The M.A. in Film and Television Studies in D.C.U. looks very good. I'm just wondering if there is anyone currently on this course or anyone who has completed this course recently who would be willing to tell me more about it? I would like a career as a scriptwriter.

    I was thinking of doing the media studies course in Maynooth - is there any chance you could message me the details of the course? What modules and is it fun/interesting?

    Hi BoyceLeaving15, Media in Maynooth is really good. In 1st Year, you can do 2 Arts' Subjects with it so it keeps your options open. In Media you have a mix of Theory and Practical modules. In Theory you do essays and research on broad topics. You can pick a film, TV programme, media ownership, anything Media-related really! The practical side is a mix of TV and radio. In 1st Year we did individual and group interviews and vox pops and we made a documentary for TV production. At the end of 1st Year you have to choose to do either Single Honours (60 Media Credits) Major/Minor (40 Media Credits and 20 Credits in your chosen Arts' subject) or Double Honours (30 credits Media and 30 in your other subject). You can find more details about the modules in the nuim course finder. Medis Studies code is MH109. You can also go onto the Kairos studios website as that's where we do our editing and get our equipment. Hope this helps!
