"Our most successful students generally engage in extra-curricular productions either outside of the college or through the various societies, most often the radio soc and the TV/Video soc," said Phillip Doyle, Department of Creative Media and Information Technology, Tralee.
Munster Technological University offers courses in TV & video production, radio production and web-based media skills from encoding media for web delivery to podcasting, blogging and the effective use of social media.
"Our course recognises the changing models of 'broadcasting' and the content that is made for new forms of transmission," Mr Doyle said. "We offer theoretical and practical training that equips the student to not only react to contemporary industry trends but also be the driving force behind these changes. At an institutional level, we have many external partnerships that enhance the student's learning experience locally, nationally and internationally with FÁS [now Screen Training Ireland], Radio Kerry and the TAMK institute in Finland, to name a few."

As part of the Department of Creative Media and computing, students have access to lecturers from a variety of fields in TV and video, new media production, and radio-based subjects.
When the students reach fourth year, they form groups of three to four people for the production of their major projects in TV, radio, new media, interactive multimedia or music technology. Many also go on to study for the MA in Creative Media, where they will continue to develop their skills under external mentors from the industry.
Available facilities include an art/multimedia/visual lab, dedicated studio spaces, a visual studio, recording studio, electronics workshop, TV studio, radio broadcasting studio, and a multimedia studio.
