THE COURSE
The course is designed for students preparing portfolios for admission to third level. It is very suited to Third Level Fine Art, Graphic Design and other Specialist Art courses. The course would also be beneficial to students hoping to pursue a career in Interactive Multi Media.
AIM
The aim of our course is twofold.The first aim is to provide a detailed portfolio.The second aim is to ensure that students have the knowledge and groundwork done which will enable them
to cope with, and benefit fully from, their third level instruction.
WHAT IS A PORTFOLIO?
It is a folder containing samples of your Art and Design work. It is vitally important as its quality is the decisive factor in the offer of a place on a course.
