Griffith College Dublin

This visual media industry is currently in rapid change and progression. Elements like DTP and the world wide web have created a pressing need for highly trained visual arts professionals with a high level of new skills and creative artistic and communications talent.

Griffith College's Faculty of Journalism and Media has over eight years' experience in providing industry standard photographic training. The delivery of award winning courses has gained us an enviable reputation in the Irish photographic industry. Former students are now working in the field in all spheres of photographic practice and we have long enjoyed the support of our colleagues in the Irish professional Photographers' Association. In addition, Griffith students have won seven of the eight photographic awards in the national student Media competitions between 2005 and 2007.

This BA Degree course is offered on a three year full-time basis or on a part-time basis, the first time this level of study has been offered in this format in Ireland. The emphasis of our course is on commercial photography; a professional approach allied to analytical skills and creative judgment. Our graduates will be highly skilled and experienced, capable of adding to the visual arts media in Ireland and abroad. On completion of this course graduates will be versed in the skills necessary for further study at even higher levels.

Further study is an option for students who successfully complete this course; the logical progression is to take the final year of the BA (Hons) in Journalism and Visual Media.
