NCAD Open
Welcome to NCAD Open; a space for online resources for applicants who are applying to Undergraduate Courses in NCAD in September 2026. Undergraduate Portfolio Submission deadline is the 6th of February in 2026. We recommended that applicants submit their portfolio in advance of the 6th 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 or "In Progress" applications will not be reviewed.
