At Ballyfermot College of Further Education (BCFE) · Ballyfermot Road, Dublin 10, D10 TX46
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Ballyfermot College of Further Education throws open its Ballyfermot Road campus for its main annual Open Day, a five hour event aimed at anyone thinking about a further education course starting the following September. It suits school leavers deciding what to do after the Leaving Certificate, career changers, and parents who want to see the college in person before their child applies.
The Open Day runs across the college’s three buildings: the main building and media building on Ballyfermot Road, and the arts building on Kylemore Road. Staff and current students show visitors through workshops, studios, and classrooms, with course displays covering animation and games, art and design, television, film and visual effects, music, and business and administration. The college’s Student Gallery, which regularly features graduate work in animation and illustration, is usually open to visitors on the day, giving a real sense of the standard of finished projects rather than just a prospectus description. Because it runs a full five hours rather than the shorter Information Day held earlier in September, there is more scope to walk between buildings, sit in on demonstrations, and speak to several course teams in one visit.
Ballyfermot Road is served by Dublin Bus routes running through Ballyfermot village, with the main campus a short walk from the centre of the suburb. The arts building on Kylemore Road is a short walk further on. On street parking is limited around the campus, so visitors driving from Palmerstown, Cherry Orchard, or elsewhere in Dublin 10 should build in extra time.
Beyond the college, there is more to explore across Co. Dublin.
