NATIONAL COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN: VIRTUAL OPEN DAY

The National College of Art and Design occupies a unique position in art and design education in Ireland, offering the widest range of art and design degrees at undergraduate and postgraduate level, across four Schools: Design, Fine Art, Visual Culture and Education. The quality of the art and design programmes at NCAD is globally recognised; NCAD is the top-ranked art and design institution on the island of Ireland and is in the top 50 art and design institutions in Europe (QS world university rankings by subject – academic reputation).

NCAD is proud to be the lead partner in the Creative Futures Academy (CFA), a ground-breaking partnership between three leading creative institutions: The National College of Art and Design, University College Dublin and the Institute of Art Design + Technology. The CFA, following its launch in September 2022, will offer new skills, fresh networks and opportunities for learning throughout students’ lives and careers.

What not to miss: The virtual tour led by the Students’ Union is a great way to get a feel for the campus. Prospective students should also make sure not to miss the sample portfolios and demonstrations by current First Year students, and to chat with the NCAD admissions staff about the applications process, and how it differs from applying to other establishments.
