NCAD offers advanced study, practice and research across art, design, education, history, theory and criticism. Artists, designers, theorists, critics, historians, educators and other cultural workers pursue postgraduate studies at the College, attracted by the strength of existing programmes and the constant innovation which creates programmes attuned to the latest developments in art, design, visual culture, criticism and theory.

An undergraduate education aims to provide a sound basis in the skills that are part and parcel of being an artist, designer and craftsperson – from the physical and technical know-how to knowing how to operate as a professional practitioner in your field. At postgraduate level the student is expected to demonstrate a level of knowledge and understanding that is at the forefront of the discipline. (See further www.nqf.ie and www.visualartists.ie/Services/sfr_infopool_pp.html.)

Postgraduate study at NCAD offers the opportunity to develop your practice through enhancing your skills and through critical engagement with others. Postgraduate students access methods, ideas, critical processes and approaches, share with peers, and interact with world-class practitioners. A full-time academic staff of 75 lecturers and tutors supplemented by specialist visiting and part-time lecturers, and Postdoctoral, Research and Fulbright Scholars supports a rich learning and research environment, and supplies the critical, disciplinary and technical expertise to support our postgraduate students in practicing at and advancing the forefront of their particular discipline.
