The aim of the Graphic Design Portfolio workshop is to deliver information about the different CAO assessment options for students applying to the level 7 BA in Graphic Design and level 8 in Graphic & Digital Design on the Athlone campus. This event also provides students with clarity around the‘portfolio assessment’ and the ‘applied project’ criteria.
Students will also get to see the department on the Athlone campus, take part in a creative workshop, receive information about the graphic and digital design programmes, learn about the varied role of the graphic designer and the vibrant job opportunities available to our graduates.
The workshop is open to post-primary level and mature students interested in our graphic design programmes. This is a free event but please ensure to register via the button below as places fill up fast.
Applicants may choose to participate in an applied project, as an alternative option to the portfolio submission. This will be carried out remotely/ electronically in March. Applicants who choose the applied project option will be issued with the project brief; the design staff will guide you in the process through workshops and live advice online. The resultant project will subsequently be assessed and the score/points you receive is then added to your leaving cert points.
For further information about the applied project process register for our upcoming graphic design course information day and workshop on Saturday the 25th of Jan.
