Proud day for students at BIFE graduation
A NUMBER of Wicklow and Arklow-based third level students attended the Bray Institute of Further Education graduation ceremony at the Holy Redeemer Church recently.
During the course of two ceremonies, students received their awards in a range of disciplines including nursing, community care, holistic health, beauty, childcare, animal care, pre-university science and administration, art, design, acting, dance sound recording, music production, DJ techniques, TV and film, game design, computing, sport, soccer, business, tourism, professional cookery and security studies were presented. In excess of 800 guests attended the ceremony.
‘We are delighted to have so many graduating this year as we celebrate over 30 years of serving the Wicklow, Wexford and greater Dublin area,’ said deputy principal Gabriel Allen.
‘In the improving economic climate, having a Level 5/ level 6 Certificate, Diploma or Higher National Diploma award remains a prerequisite to finding meaningful employment, irrespective of location. These awards are portable and their quality is recognised internationally which gives the graduate every opportunity of success. Graduates also have the opportunity to gain advanced entry onto higher education degree courses and in some instances complete an honours degree with one extra year of study in Higher Education Institutes.’
