What our Graduates say about the course

“I started in DCU with many advantages, thanks to my time in Ballsbridge College where I learnt a lot about time management, assignment writing, study skills and self- directed independent learning. Ballsbridge College provided me with a friendly supportive positive learning environment in which to develop my multimedia skills and knowledge and prepare me for further study. I had gained a good grounding and experience of many of the modules on the degree programme; I had acquired an extra layer of maturity, having completed the PLC course and I knew what was expected from me as a third level student.”

Daniel Rice Murphy, Web Authoring and Multimedia graduate 2016, currently studying Multimedia, DCU
