This is a programme in professional journalism which includes the study of Irish or French. It prepares students to work as journalists, with the additional benefits provided by the study of the second language. Applicants should have a keen interest in news and current affairs, a facility with language, an ease in relating to people and an ability to work to deadlines. They must also have a good standard in the language of their choice. The programme will allow them gain a critical understanding of the role of journalism in democratic society, skill in the practice of newspaper and broadcast journalism and knowledge of subjects such as politics, law and business. The Irish and French courses are integrated with journalism - students thus gain linguistic skills together with a knowledge of the culture, literature and media of the language studied. Students publish and broadcast their work throughout the year in the School of Media publications. They are also encouraged to work on student publications and through professional channels.
The programme is run in close conjunction with DT582 BA Journalism.
