Where you live, and where Pulse teaches

Pulse College (founded 1990) is a Dublin creative college. The legal teaching sites are Windmill Lane Recording Studios, 20 Ringsend Road, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 4, D04 H580, and Market Studios, Halston Street, Dublin 7, D07 KC97, Ireland. Pages named after Philippines describe your location — Manila, Cebu, and Davao — not a branch campus.

Online students complete Irish NFQ Levels 6–9 pathways in audio, game design, film/TV or animation. QQI validation and the Griffith College academic partnership since 2012 are published on accreditation. Avid Pro Tools Pro School and Epic Games Unreal Academic Partner training sit inside those programmes. We do not add Russell Group, Ofqual or UK-university claims to win search queries.

Animation and game-art applicants in the Philippines submit art packs or Unreal scenes. Pulse remains a Dublin college. Online study needs no Irish visa.

Time zone note: PHT. Live sessions may sit on Irish time; recordings are provided. You do not relocate. Online study does not require an Irish student visa. A Dublin campus offer is a different product — see immigration pages after that offer, not before.

Money: online tuition is £0. The application fee is US$20 and is refunded in full if you are not accepted. Exam or kit fees are listed before you enrol. Campus studio fees apply only if you take a Dublin place.
