An examinable portion of a subject or course, for which you attend lectures and/or tutorials and carry out assignments. E.g. Algebra and Calculus could be modules within the subject Mathematics. Each module has a unique module code eg. MA140.
Subject
Some courses allow you to choose subjects, where related modules are grouped together.

What Our Students Say

Fiona

Fiona Buckley |   BA Drama, Theatre and Performance student

The BA in Drama, Theatre and Performance allowed me to try my hand at all things theatre. Throughout the course I was able to broaden my skill set, explore different theatre practitioners and techniques and study theatre literature in depth, all while being encouraged to flex my acting muscle. Through the course I was given opportunities to perform in different venues around Galway and work with a medley of skilled theatre makers. Because of a production in my third year I met Decadent Theatre Company's Andrew Flynn and subsequently worked as a stage manager and a costume assistant for Decadent. After graduating, I worked as a performer with the Active Consent Programme on a touring production of 'The Kinds of Sex You Might Have At College' directed by Dr Charlotte McIvor, who taught me throughout my years in University of Galway.
Patrick

Patrick Conneely |   BA Drama, Theatre and Performance Graduate

BA DTP is an ideal environment for creatives of all types. If you have an interest in acting, playwriting, music, stage management or graphic design, you won’t be short of opportunities to explore these roles. During my four years, I performed in a Druid production, I composed scores and sound design for multiple productions, and I wrote a short mini-musical in my final year – that’s before taking into account the possibilities provided by the drama and musical societies and extra-curricular activities. In DTP you will hone your skills and learn new ones all while learning about and making theatre.”
