NCAD Open 2024
Welcome to NCAD Open; a space for online resources for applicants who are applying to Undergraduate Courses in NCAD in September 2025. Undergraduate Portfolio Submission deadline is the 7th of February. We recommend that applicants submit their portfolio in advance of the 7th of February deadline. If a high quantity of applicants are uploading at the same time this could cause technical difficulties which in turn may prevent applicants from submitting their portfolio on time. The onus is completely on the applicant to ensure their portfolio is submitted on time. Late applications for whatever reason will not be reviewed.
