COURSE INFORMATION

Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education in association with University of Wolverhampton and Near fm are proud to announce the launch of a BA Honours Degree in Broadcasting and Journalism in September 2015*.  This one year course will be delivered on a part time/evening basis at our Coolock campus, with a minimum of 12 contact hours per week.  The radio broadcasting elements of the course will take place in the nearby NEAR fm radio facilities.

The course, which will be taught by industry professionals, will develop learners’ ability to communicate effectively via a range of broadcast and digital platforms. You will be encouraged to engage in independent, critical thinking and to use your imagination, creativity and organisational skills. Participants should also demonstrate the ability to work to deadlines in the creation of journalistic items for broadcast/publication.  Find out more about the course content here: http://courses.wlv.ac.uk/course.asp?code=MZ014H31UVD
