Having always loved reading, performing, and watching films, when I read about this course and subsequently visited the UCD campus, I knew English, Drama & Film was the course for me. To sum it up, what I love most is the wide range of modules the course offers. You get to explore so many pieces of literature and genres of film, meet and listen to directors and screenwriters and read and watch some incredible performances. In doing the course, I have gained a new perspective and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to further educate themselves on various forms of the arts.

Ailís Cherry-Kinito, Student

“I have always been interested in the three subjects English, Drama, and Film and was thrilled when I discovered that UCD provides the opportunity to study them together. Being an interdisciplinary course, it shows how each of the three subjects influences the other ones while studying them thoroughly on their own as well. The course has given me a greater understanding of the correlation between the film, drama and media industries. I am excited by the modules and opportunities this course offers me.”
