The title of this course is: "H. Dip in Science in Computing in Creative Multimmedia Programming." This postgraduate programme offers rewarding and challenging possibilities for learners interested in undertaking a conversion programme in the area of multimedia, and its application in social, media and enterprise environments. Given the scale of the IT sector in Ireland, and the current expansion of roles associated with the IT sector, it is projected that there will be healthy demand for talented Computing/ IT graduates over the next number of years. The aim of this 1 year conversion programme is to provide students with an academically challenging educational experience that will enable them to develop the knowledge base, professional attitudes, project management skills and industry awareness to serve both the multimedia computing industry and society. The course also aims to provide the student with the opportunity to engage in independent research that integrates concepts, issues and ethical principles that allow the student to question existing precepts.

3DS Max Software 3D Graphics View Scene
This project involved producing a 3D design of a wall with enhancements. The units were set to real-world units. The windows were constructed of a number of parts grouped together as one unit. There was a design for a view in the window. Lights were used to light the scene. I placed a Willow tree to the lef tof screen, which with the lights, produced shadows on the wall for light and shade effect. Two cameras were set up, one interior and th other exterior, to capture the view photographically.
