Griffith College, based on Dublin's southside, offers a variety of postgraduate and professional courses, with programmes available in media, law, business, computing and accounting.
For example, the HETAC Higher Diploma in Journalism is a one-year full time or one and a half year parttime course that concentrates on giving graduates practical and academic media based training that will enable them to gain employment as journalists, radio programme researchers, presenters, producers, technical writers and other media related positions. The Faculty also launched an inter-disciplinary MSc in Applied Digital Media last year which is run in conjunction with the Faculty of Computing.
In a similar vein, the HETAC Higher Diploma in Computing bridges the gap between non-computing disciplines and computing science. Students who obtain second class honours in this programme are eligible to be considered for entry onto GCD's MSc Programme.
This Masters gives students a competency and understanding of academic and industrial computing research.
The Graduate Business School is building on the College's established reputation for student success in both business and finance and a dynamic teaching environment. The full suite of programmes ranges from a Postgraduate Certificate to an MBA in International Business Management.
But it was law that really copperfastened GCD's reputation, and the Professional Law School at Griffith runs a part-time intensive preparatory course for part one of the Law Society's Final Examinations (FE1). The Griffith College FE1 programme is now running in Limerick, Cork, Waterford and Galway. The Professional Law School also offersa preparatory courses for The Honorable Society of King's Inns' Entrance Examinations.
Finally, the Professional Accountancy Department runs CPA, ACCA and CPD programmes in Dublin and Cork.
