    I have been thinking about doing a graphic design course next year but I am not sure where to start looking.

    Living in Galway, I have checked the GMIT BA in Art and Design but was wondering if it would be a good enough to get a job as a graphic designer?

    Just wondering if any of you would have a good course (full-time if possible) to recommend in Ireland (or in Europe).

    Thank you!

    Note that graphic design jobs are not only based on the course/degree one has completed but more so based on the industry experience and portfolio of the candidate.

    Oh yes I realise this, my question was more if a "generic" BA in Art and Design would give me the skills to work as a Graphic Designer? Sorry I wasnt clear.

    The Limerick course is amazing people, I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Sorry to hijack, but can anybody recommentd a 1 year course (preferably around Limerick)? I've just done 4 years at LSAD (Sculpture/Media) and don't have the funds to do another 3.
