Career Opportunities
Graduates of this course will be well placed to avail of the increasing number of employment opportunities that are arising in this rapidly expanding industry. The Forfás report on the Future Skills Requirements of the International Digital Media Industry: Implications for Ireland (July 2006) indicates the potential of this sector:
"As high-bandwidth technologies become increasingly pervasive around the globe, they will fuel an insatiable demand for high quality content ... This content will span entertainment, information, education and business applications, as well as novel applications that we cannot even envisage at present. Consequently there are huge opportunities for a country which can position itself at the nexus of the creative arts and digital technology." (p. iii)
"Based on the available data, indications are that the market size for Digital Media was worth at the very least $965 billion in 2004. Furthermore, estimates suggest that it will be worth at least $1.48 trillion by 2009, representing growth of more than 53% in the period." (p. 3)
Students can participate in a successful work experience placement during the course. Graduates can use their qualification to progress to a variety of courses in the Higher Education Institutions.
Graduates may progress into Year 1 of the Institute of Public Administration's (IPA) part-time, NUI-accredited, Diploma in Business Studies or Bachelor of Business Studies (Hons) and can also avail of an additional subject exemption.
