About This Opportunity

The Puttnam Scholars programme offers six students the opportunity to work with Lord David Puttnam, Oscar winning producer of films including Chariots of Fire, The Mission, The Killing Fields and Midnight Express, former Digital Champion (appointed by Irish Government) and entrepreneur in the creative industries. This prestigious scholarship programme offers unique mentoring opportunities for students and represents a new model of industry/sector mentorship. During the year, the Puttnam Scholars will work together on a team project and will be required to attend a series of 6 video conference mentoring and coaching sessions with Lord Puttnam. Puttnam Scholars will jointly produce a short film which they will screen as part of a presentation to Lord Puttnam and invited guests at the end of the academic year. Students awarded a Puttnam Scholarship will receive a monetary award of €1000 on completion of the short film which will be done within the academic year.
