Overview

This programme focuses on developing skills in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, screenwriting, playwriting, cultural journalism and other forms. Coursework is anchored by a focus on creative and critical writing processes along with a detailed study of literature, drama and film. The programme is delivered through interactive workshops, seminars and field trips. This programme is taught by practitioners in the fields of literature and film. Visiting lecturers include novelists, poets, screenwriters, playwrights, podcasters, journalists, editors, agents and publishers. Students develop a portfolio of writing over three years, working across different genres/media, and they work on a diverse range of creative projects, including short films, podcasts and documentaries. Writing practice is bolstered by the study of literature. We aim to expose students to different forms of creative texts, offering the space for them to explore and discover their own creative voice and forms. Throughout the programme, students are encouraged to attend writing festivals, readings (both online and live), workshops and interactive sessions with guest writers. Year 1 Students are given a foundation in literature, drama and writing practice, including digital media. The writing and practice modules focus on writing basics and short-form writing. Year 2 Students work on playwriting, screenwriting, poetry and writing for television and explore the major literary and cultural movements of the 20th century and their impact on the development of narrative forms. Year 3 In the final year, students focus on building a significant portfolio of original work undertaken in close consultation with staff mentors. Modules in nonfiction and contemporary Irish writing offer insight into current literary practices. Visits from agents, publishers and editors and practical workshops in teaching/ facilitation give students a varied set of skills for professional practice.
