Graduate Profile - Anne-Gaelle Guilcher
MSc in Computing Science
I found the course to be both challenging and rewarding as it gave me the opportunity to acquire a valuable accreditation
whilst enhancing my computer expertise. The modules on the course are extremely interesting and beneficial, knowledge
of which will prove useful in the IT marketplace. In terms of academic staff, I found them to be very informative; they were
also capable of imparting knowledge with ease. I studied part-time and found the lecturers and administration staff to be
very flexible and accommodating. This meant that the academic duties of a part-time student and the day-to-day
professional duties never conflicted.

At first I was a little concerned about combining a full time job with college commitments, but I found the environment within
Griffith College very relaxing and I was lucky that I had an excellent Lecturer who made the course very interesting, combining what we
were learning with what was happening in our own working lives. The course was broken down well and the notes were very helpful
when it came to revision. The knowledge and experience gained within Griffith College has given me the confidence to continue in my
Human Resource studies, and I am looking forward to starting my BA in human resource management this year.

Careers
This honours degree programme has been designed in response
to an increasing industrial demand for honours degree level
employees with design skills relating to interior architecture,
especially with regard to space planning, technology and
visualisation. The graduates who successfully complete this
programme will be able to design interiors in terms of space,
materials, detailing and atmosphere. They will be able to sketch,
draught, produce advanced computer aided visualisations,
including walk-throughs, use the latest software packages, apply
advanced technology and manage design projects. The degree
programme has two main orientations: professional and academic.
The syllabus for this programme has been created in consultation
with the leading interior architects and interior designers in Ireland.
Graduates of this course will be able to work as an interior architect
in architectural and design practices. On entering the workplace
they will be equipped to undertake interior architectural projects
and independently carry them through to completion. Typically,
graduates work on projects in commercial design (galleries, leisure
complexes, retail units, hotels) and specialist conversion projects,
some involving building conservation. Due to the extensive training
in new methods of computer-visualisation, including 3-D modelling,
rendering and simulations, there are also significant opportunities
as CAD specialists.
Holders of this qualification may wish to pursue a
postgraduate diploma or masters programme in interior
architecture or related disciplines.

Irish Institute of Legal Executives & GCD
Legal Executives assist in the processing of legal matters with
solicitors, barristers, in the Courts of Ireland and within other
areas of commercial and legal practice. They undertake their work
according to high professional standards of integrity and conduct
as required by the law of the Republic of Ireland, by the legal
profession and by the Code of Rules of the Irish Institute of Legal

Qualified legal executives are employed in private practice, in the
legal departments of banks and public or local authorities, as well
as in industry and commerce. Working to a large extent as part of
a legal team, some legal executives may specialise in areas such
as conveyancing, pensions, property, civil litigation and insurance
claims. Typically, as a graduate in employment you’ll assist in
the preparation, analysis and interpretation of a variety of legal
documents and may prepare and file court documents. The range
of activities also includes attending counsel and legal research.
This programme is offered by Griffith College in conjunction with
the Irish Institute of Legal Executives. While it aims to provide you
with an academic grounding in the traditional core legal subjects,

principles in the work environment of the legal executive.

About the Course
Overview of Equipment
The purpose of this award-winning course is to provide students
with a fundamental knowledge of the practical application of TV
and video production and post-production techniques. Students
on the programme, many of whom have no familiarity with the
medium on course commencement, are taught how to propose
and make video packages and the skills of post-production, utilising
advanced industry software.
The course provides an excellent range of equipment, including
Sony EX1 & Sony HVRZ1 cameras, Lighting kits, green screen,
Kino-Vinten Vision, Sachtler, Sennheiser 416, 816, ME80, Shure
FP33, Shure SM58, Sony ECM44, Tracks dolly’s and a variety of grip
equipment. We are using the latest version of Apples revolutionary,
Final Cut Studio.
Exciting subjects, such as television and video production, film
theory and photography, all whet the appetite. If you’re looking
for a thorough understanding in the art of television and video
production, particularly through the completion of practical
assignments, then you’ll find this a most rewarding course.
On successful completion students will receive a City & Guilds
Diploma in Television and Media Techniques plus a GCD Diploma in
Television Production and Digital Video Editing.
The nature of visual media has changed dramatically in
recent years with the stunning growth of digital television, the
internet and increased film production. To match this growth
our course content reflects the ongoing technical and market
developments. Students will be taught skills that are relevant
to current and emerging industry practice and, to this end, the
syllabus has been created by experts at the forefront of Irish
film education and practice. In fact, many of the lecturers on the
course are also industry professionals who will introduce you to
the cutting edge of a highly competitive industry. While the course
is primarily practical in nature – with students creating their own
video productions, using digital production and post-production
equipment – a balance between practical applications and
academic pursuits is maintained.
52
Griffith College was one of the first colleges to utilise Apple’s Final
Cut Pro Software. The staff on the programme have attained high
reputations in Ireland and internationally in the use of this software
in a teaching environment.
Project Work
Project work is an integral and essential part of this course;
students will present a three-minute news report on completion
of their first semester, with an emphasis on stand-ups, voiceovers,
reports to camera and investigative techniques. Analogue editing
techniques are also used during this semester.
During the second semester you will be expected to complete a
minimum of two video projects, in addition to making your own
show-reel for presentation. Students work to tight deadlines and
learn how to integrate practical skills with teamwork. Students will
also be expected to learn how to relate audio with video images.
At the end of the course students may apply for entry
to the BA in Journalism and may be considered for subject
exemptions on the basis of performance and portfolio.

Careers
There are many interesting opportunities in audio, video, lighting
production and research in television and film production.
Awards
The Journalism Faculty at Griffith College has added yet another
prestigious award to their long list of prizes. This time around,
student Tanya Doyle has been awarded the City and Guilds Medal
for Excellence for her video documentary on Moore Street. Each
year, some three-quarters of a million people take a variety of City
and Guilds courses, however, only about a hundred or so qualify
for the Medal for Excellence award. The judges were so impressed
by the “professional and industrial standard of her work in all
areas”, that she was also presented with the Prince Philip Medal
awarded by City & Guilds. There were only thirteen recipients of this
gold medal, which was presented by Britain’s Prince Philip. Tanya,
who hails from Clondalkin, decided to study at Griffith to gain the
practical experience necessary to complement the MA in Film and
Television she received from DCU. Lecturers were so impressed
with Tanya’s work that they immediately hired her on completion of
her course at Griffith College where she is now working with other
students and on a variety of freelance projects with many industry
professionals. She has a wide range of interests but she especially
likes difficult lighting projects and editing with Final Cut Pro.
