Since 2003 Trinity College has pioneered the Republic of Ireland's first specialist undergraduate course leading to an honors degree in Film Studies.

Department of Film Studies

As an academic discipline Film Studies is a vibrant, demanding and extremely satisfying area of study. In combination with another Arts subject, students are given the opportunity to explore film history, theory and practice.

The four years of the course allow students to sample a wide range of cinemas and to become fully immersed in the intellectual currents that flow in and around them. In their first two years, students take core courses in film history, film theory and national cinemas as well as introductory modules in film production. Modules in the sophister year allow students to develop their interests in specialised topics and filmmaking techniques.
