A Masters course at the University of Ulster recently won three awards in its first year.
Students on the Masters in Documentary Practice course, Ireland's only documentary postgraduate course, have won prestigious awards in filmmaking.
Ayodeji Shogbamimu, from Athy, won €8,000 from the Simon Cumbers Media Challenge to make 'Oil Boom', his dissertation film on the Niger Delta communities.
James Slattery, from Dublin, won £800 for best post-graduate film at the Northern Ireland Skillset Academy awards ceremony at BBC Northern Ireland on June 4.
Kevin McSorley, from Tyrone, won one of only five UK-wide bursaries (worth £750) from the One World Broadcasting Trust (OWBT) to help him make his dissertation film on female Malian musicians, including kora musician Madina N'Diaye.
The course leader Dr Cahal McLaughlin remarked: "To have three of our students win awards in our first year is exceptional. This reflects the high quality of students that we are attracting."
