BA in Education and Design or Fine Art

The BA (Hons) in Education and Design or Fine Art programme provides an integrated programme in art and design and initial teacher education, to facilitate the personal, social, intellectual and practical growth of students, preparing them for professional careers as teachers & artists or designers.

The undergraduate programme is facilitated by a close integration of the disciplinary base of Art and Design within the Schools of Fine Art and Design, the systematic provision of Contextual Studies through the School of Visual Culture and the incremental provision of Education Studies and of Professional Studies and Teaching Practicums (school placements) from within the School of Education.

The 240-credit honours degree model of Education with Design or Fine Art is provided over a four-year period to allow for sufficient exposure to both the subject disciplines and the professional formation in teaching.

The programme fulfils the requirements for accreditation by the Teaching Council as a qualification for employment in the post-primary and further education sectors in Ireland.
