A specification for the new Leaving Certificate subject Drama, Film and Theatre Studies will be introduced for fifth year students in September 2025. Leaving Certificate Drama, Film and Theatre Studies provides opportunities for personal, aesthetic, collaborative and culturally enriching experiences. As students develop and apply the knowledge, skills, values and dispositions needed to bring concepts to realisation – individually and in groups – they will engage in, respond to, analyse and evaluate their own work and the work of others. Experiencing this subject will help students to develop creative and critical thinking and informed opinions. The subject provides students with opportunities for divergent and even radical thinking, to explore aesthetic experiences, to solve problems and to challenge conventions and orthodoxies.
