    Well, I've CDM in Blanch down as my first choice. But I've seen Multimedia in DCU aswell and I'm not sure which to put first. Anyone know of differences in the course in terms of job oppurtunites or standard? I know it's unlikely, especially as this is a ITB forum. And also, is there a career path for graphic design from this course? Thanks!

    I'd recommend DCU first, as it's a BSci rather than a Barts, and secondly because DCU will have better facilities.

    What's the difference? I did check for what a Barts is, but no luck.

    Bachelor of Arts = Barts, or B.A as it's usually abbreviated.

    I would value a B.Sc over a B.A.

    Alright thanks, It's just that DCU is 430 points with a good chance of it rising higher. I'll put it down and if I don't get it I'll be glad to go here regardless. I'm hoping to get into Graphic Design, any idea if CDM enables me to do this? Thanks again.

    Both courses will allow you to get into the field of graphic design.

    You can find more info on the CDM course here.

    As for the DCU course, 2 of my colleagues completed that course. One works in web development, the other is a graphic designer.

    Where did you manage to get into as a matter of interest?

    Missed out on DCU by 10 points so I'm in Blanch. Love the course, really happy it's where I am.
