We are delighted to invite you to the 8th annual Creative Media Degree show in Dundalk Institute of Technology. This year’s show will take place in the newly renovated historic Scott Tallon Walker Carroll’s Factory. The exhibition is a unique opportunity to be one of the first to witness the rebirth of an iconic building. The exhibition which will showcase the final year work from the BA in Communications in Creative Multimedia, the BA(Hons) in Communications in Creative Media, BA in Video and Film Production, BA(Hons) in Video and Film Production and the BSc (Hons) in Computing in Games Development.  Also on show will be selected work from other Creative Media students. The show is celebration of the culmination of consistent hard work by the final year students working together in teams to implement these highly imaginative innovative concepts overcoming time, resource and monetary limitations.

The projects themselves demonstrate the varied and diverse skill base that students acquire over the course of their studies at DKIT, with projects ranging from the entertaining to the informative. The completed products that you will see exhibited are testament to the dedication and motivation of both students and staff at the Institute.

Interdisciplinary collaboration and constructive collaborative work is encouraged to help prepare students for the increasingly team orientated modern workplace that exists today.
We hope that you will be able to join us at the exhibition and that you will enjoy browsing through the projects as much as the students enjoyed making them.

Students and staff would like to thank friends, family and sponsors who supported them through the arduous process of education and project creation.

Please join us in congratulating this year’s graduates and exhibitors and wishing them all the best in their future careers.
