C.E.S. in association with Pulse College has launched a new suite of Music, Video Game and English language courses with aim of attracting international students. Students will get to choose from two different course combinations; English Language with Music Production or English Language with Video Game Development.
Pulse College director, Naomi Moore explains the rationale behind the new move, saying: “If we are to build up the knowledge economy in Ireland, attracting international students directly is also vital.” Located in world famous Windmill Lane Recording Studios, The English Language with Music Production Course will provide students with access to the latest technology, where they will create and mix music in a professional recording environment.
The aim is to provide a practical hands-on course, which will look to give students a realistic understanding of what it takes to be a sound engineer and music producer. The English Language and Video Game Development Course focuses on four main areas; English language, programming languages, sound and music for computer and games and application development. Using the latest technology, participants will learn the processes required to create Video Games and i-Phone content. Both courses have been designed with beginners in mind and require no prior knowledge in music or gaming.
Pulse College’s Naomi Moore explains how the course came about and how it reflects the new way of working we now have in Ireland: “Traditional industry no longer leads the way,” She starts. “digital media and the knowledge economy does. I honestly believe that it’s given people a totally different outlook on their futures and their livelihoods. The value, growth and reliance on all areas of digital media in our everyday lives has altered the perception of creative arts and its potential for lasting and rewarding careers. Digital media is the future, and people need to be educated, trained and up-skilled to be a part of it.”
An award winning English Language School, CES has trained over 40,000 students. Pulse College, based in Windmill Lane Recording Studios, has been a centre for creative media education for over 20 years.
