Starting in November 2025, the programme will run part-time over 18 months (November 2025 - May 2027) and is delivered in a hybrid format (online and in-person) to allow participants to continue in full-time careers.
With an interactive, discussion and project-based approach to learning the course offers you the opportunity to build on your years of experience in the sector and to learn more about areas of interest to you.
Participants will join a diverse class of their peers, to learn about and discuss a broad range of topical themes in the sector (including sustainability, EDI, film narration & story, animation and documentaries in Ireland). The class will also select topics they want to discuss in more detail. In addition, participants will be introduced to approaches to research, critical reflection and self-directed learning. They will also choose from a wide range of optional modules and do a project in an area of particular interest to them.
