Structured PhD: GradCAM @ NCAD

With the emergence of and increasing emphasis upon doctoral education in Art and Design, it is important to provide a rich and rigorous learning environment for students that opens opportunities within and beyond academia. A key vehicle through which this can be achieved is structured PhD education, one that provides taught modules in key generic and domain-specific areas in a way that augments the traditional, highly individualised apprentice model.

All PhD students at NCAD are encouraged to participate in our structured PhD programme, delivered through the Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media. The Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM) is an exciting new collaborative initiative of national and all-island significance which builds on the expertise of the National college of Art and Design, Dublin Institute of Technology, the University of Ulster, and the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dún Laoghaire.

The School is a shared space of structured doctoral studies and research support - what has come to be known as "fourth-level" education. As such, GradCAM is a key resource in supporting and enhancing the research and learning environment for both text-based and practice-based doctoral students at NCAD.
