Professional Master of Education (Art & Design)

The PME in Art and Design Education (PME) aims to enable art and design graduates develop as professional educators, through the application of their own art and design practices, insights and modes of learning to the requirements of teaching, with specific reference to the requirements of the Irish second-level education system.

The PME facilitates the personal, social, intellectual and practical growth of students, preparing them for professional careers as teachers and fostering the necessary skills and dispositions of research, analysis, evaluation and critique to enable them to become reflective practitioners.
