Full-time Degrees / Certificates 

Are you trying to decide where to go to college? And, what you’ll do when you get there?
Here at DBS, we carry a comprehensive range of career-focused courses in the areas of Business, Psychology, Media, Computing and Law. This means whether you want to be a Lawyer, Music Producer, Businessperson, Accountant, Filmmaker, Psychologist, or anything else you’ve dreamed of… you can start off on the right path here.

Our next Open Event will be held on May 12th, between 5pm and 7pm in our Aungier Street Building.

Open Events are an ideal opportunity for you to meet the academic staff and view the facilities of the college.

We know that there’s much more to being a student than just studying. We want to help you develop your whole personality and offer a long list of activities and events to take you out of the lecture theatre and really get to know your fellow students. Check out the Student Experience social media page to see what's going on!
