Alright, Alright, Alright! Seems like Matthew McConaughey is set to join the teaching faculty of the University of Texas. The 'Dallas Buyers Club' star will be teaching in the University's Department of Radio-Television-Film.

McConaughey has been a visiting professor at the Moody College of Communication at Austin since 2015 where he taught a class on film production along with faculty member and director Scott Rice. University has sung the McConaughey's praise, saying they recognize his willingness to work with his pupils outside an academic frame.

According to Jay Bernhardt, dean of the communication college, the class has been conceived and designed by McConaughey. The class involves "walking through an entire motion picture from the first draft of the script to post-production and release"

We first saw him as Woody in Richard Linklater's 'Dazed and Confused'. He went to star in the string of romantic-comedies in the 2000's such as ' 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' (2003),' Failure To Launch (2006), and the Wedding Planner' (2011). However, the most fruitful phase of his career termed as 'Mcconaissance' saw him take on dramatic roles such as Detective Rust Cohle in 'True Detective' and his Oscar-winning performance of Ron Woodroof in Jean-Marc Vallee's 'Dallas Buyers Club'(2013).

McConaughey has high expectations from his class and looks forward to it. He has generously shared his gameplan, saying"It's the class I wish I would have had when I was in film school. Working in the classroom with these students gives me a chance to prepare them. Making movies, turning words on paper into film, is both a science and art -- no matter the time or generation. The elements of truth and genuine joy for the process are timeless. That will always be our classroom focus".

He will be next seen in Guy Ritchie's action-comedy 'The Gentlemen'.
