Please excuse our appearance while we build our new web pages for BA in Visual Culture at NCAD
Are you fascinated by the spectrum of human creativity, art, design, architecture, film, fashion, media and digital culture? Are you interested in the history and theory of the objects, processes and cultural organisations that make up our contemporary world?
The BA in Visual Culture offers a unique opportunity to study the history, theory and analysis of art, design, architecture, fashion and screen culture in the setting of a leading art and design college. The programme is suitable for anyone with a broad interest in art and design history and culture and its role in society. Located in the heart of Dublin’s Liberties, our Thomas Street campus is a busy hub of studios and workshops enabling Visual Culture students to study alongside Ireland’s future artists, designers and cultural creatives.
You will be educated to become visually literate, analytical and articulate. On graduation you will have gained a broad range of critical and research skills associated with an arts degree. Visual Culture graduates work in arts, cultural and heritage management, in exhibition curation and education, in festivals and events organisation and in the media.
The School of Visual Culture offers a BA in Visual Culture with both a full time and new part time option. We also teach all NCAD undergraduate students through our Critical Cultures Programme.
What is Visual Culture
Visual Culture is a wide-ranging field studying art and design from the nineteenth century to the present day. The BA in Visual Culture will develop your understanding of history and theory of images, objects and architecture and all sorts of contemporary visual expression.
