    MSc Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

    This course won the Best New Postgraduate Award (HEA Awards, Ireland) for 2017. More information here. It was also shortlisted for Best Science Award for 2018–19.

    The worlds climate is rapidly changing due to global warming, and will continue to do so for the decades and centuries ahead. This poses major challenges for future agriculture and food systems to provide food and other bioresources for the 9.7 billion people that will occupy the planet by 2050.

    This programme is aimed at students who want to combine scientific, engineering, technical, social or policy skills so that they are better equipped to understand and make significant contributions regarding the adaptation and mitigation of climate change impacts on global agriculture and food security.The MSc in Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (MScCCAFS) provides students with the skills and tools for developing sustainable agricultural practices, policies and measures to address the challenge that global warming poses for agriculture and food security worldwide. Students complete a research project worth one-third of the final grade. This research may be completed at the students place of work, within the international CGIAR Research Programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security or in collaboration with other institutional partners.‌‌

    CU6102: Iriseoireacht na Linne Seo

    Semester 1 | Credits: 5

    Tá sé mar aidhm ag an modúl seo iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar chleachtais ghairmiúil chomhaimseartha san iriseoireacht, agus an mac léinn a chumasú le cleachtas machnamhach mar iriseoir a chur i gcrích. Chuige sin, cuirfidh an mac léinn portfóilió d’ábhar iriseoireachta le chéile (idir ábhar físe, fuaime agus scríofa), agus féachfar lena chumasú le féinmheasúnóireacht chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar tháirgeadh an ábhair sin agus ar ábhar iriseoireachta i gcoitinne. Déanfar an modúl seo a sheachadadh trí léachtaí agus trí cheardlanna ar champais na hOllscoile; tríd an bhfoghlaim chumaisc; agus tríd an bhfoghlaim ar an láthair oibre ar láithreacha éagsúla de chuid RTÉ.

    Learning Outcomes
    1. Breithmheas a thabhairt ar shaincheisteanna sóisialta, cultúrtha agus teicneolaíocha a bhaineann le hiriseoireacht na linne seo.
    2. Inniúlacht ghairme a léiriú trí phortfóilió ilghnéitheach iriseoireachta a chur le chéile a chuimsíonn ábhar scríofa, físe agus fuaime.
    3. Anailís chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar chleachtais ghairme éagsúla a bhaineann le hábhar iriseoireachta a tháirgeadh.
    4. Anailís chomparáideach a dhéanamh ar chomhdhéanamh na gclár nuachta teilifíse a chraolann craoltóirí éagsúla maidir le hábhar, struchtúr, cur chuige tuairisceoireachta, cineál na scéalaíochta, agus luachanna eagarthóireachta.
    5. Critique a dhéanamh ar ábhar iriseoireachta a chuirtear ar fáil ar ardáin neamhthraidisiúnta.

    Course Overview

    Páirtnéireacht eisceachtúil idir Ollscoil na Gaillimhe agus Raidió Teilifís Éireann is ea an MA (Cleachtas Gairmiúil sna Meáin) atá á chur ar fáil trí mheán na Gaeilge ag Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge. Faoin bpáirtnéireacht seo, déanfaidh tú staidéar agus anailís chriticiúil ar na meáin agus ar chruinnscríobh na Gaeilge san Ollscoil agus ar líne; agus déanfaidh tú staidéar ar chleachtais ghairmiúla chomhaimseartha sna meáin in aonaid Ghaeilge éagsúla de chuid RTÉ i gConamara agus i mBaile Ãtha Cliath. Cur chuige nuálach agus tarraingteach é seo: beidh deis agat tréimhsí suntasacha a chaitheamh ar láithreacha oibre RTÉ le linn an chláir, ní mar ghnáth-intéirneach, ach mar mhac léinn a bheidh faoi stiúir acadúil leanúnach. Ar an gcaoi sin gheobhaidh tú taithí luachmhar san iriseoireacht, sa chraoltóireacht, agus i gcruthú ábhair dardáin ilmheán, agus tú ag feidhmiú mar â€˜chleachtóir machnamhach sa mhórchraoltóir náisiúnta.

    Láithreacha an Chláir
    Reáchtálfar an clár trí mheán na Gaeilge in ionaid éagsúla de chuid Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, agus go cianda tríd an bhfoghlaim chumaisc. Sa chéad seimeastar beidh tú lonnaithe san iarthar: ar champais Ollscoil na Gaillimhe; i stiúideonna RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta; agus i stiúideo nuachta RTÉ i mBaile na hAbhann. (Ag brath ar éileamh, dfhéadfá a bheith lonnaithe ar feadh tréimhse i stiúideonna RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta i gCasla, sna Doirí Beaga nó i mBaile na nGall, de réir mar a fheileann.) Sa dara seimeastar beidh tú lonnaithe in oirthear na tíre, in aonaid Ghaeilge éagsúla de chuid RTÉ i nDomhnach Broc, Baile Ãtha Cliath. Sa tríú seimeastar cuirfidh tú tionscadal taighde féinstiúrtha (tráchtas scríofa nó tionscadal taighde praiticbhunaithe) i gcrích as láithreacha éagsúla. Mar chuid den fhoghlaim chumaisc agus ar líne cuirfear ceardlanna rialta ar fáil.

    Líon na Mac Léinn
    Beidh cúig áit déag ar a mhéid ar tairiscint in aghaidh na bliana. 

    Deiseanna Staidéir Breise

    • Cur le cumas an mhic léinn é/í féin a chur in iúl agus i láthair go héifeachtach agus go húdarásach trí mheán na Gaeilge ag imeachtaí poiblí agus os comhair ceamara nó micreafóin.

    • Tionscadal taighde féinstiúrtha a phleanáil, a dhearadh, a fhorbairt agus a chur i gcrích. 

    Tréithe Céimithe an Chláir
    Ar thréithe céimithe an chláir beidh an cumas intleachtúil agus anailíse le léargas criticiúil a thabhairt ar na cúinsí sóisialta, eacnamaíocha, polaitiúla agus cultúrtha faoina bhfeidhmíonn na meáin sa tsochaí chomhaimseartha; chomh maith leis an gcruthaitheacht, an fhiosracht, an ghéarchúis, an fhísiúlacht agus an tsamhlaíocht atá ag teastáil le dul chun cinn suntasach a dhéanamh mar chleachtóirí machnamhacha sna meáin agus in earnálacha gaolmhara sa lá atá inniu ann. Anuas air sin déanfar a gcuid luachanna, eolas agus scileanna a chothú agus a fhorbairt.
