Profile
This four-year modular honors degree program-fully accredited, managed, and delivered by TU Dublin offers a dynamic and creative education in the Visual Arts. The program will have a particular focus on the investigation of the meaning of place, how it can be generated and regenerated through art-making, and the exchange between the artmaker and her/his place and its people. On completing the program graduates will be able to demonstrate an advanced comprehension of the nature, role, and potential of Art in the context of their community and in a wider international context, a critical comprehension of historical and contemporary developments in Art; and a thorough mastery of the materials, techniques, and skills appropriate to their own artistic interests. Additionally, they will develop professional artistic skills necessary for the visual expression of significant ideas and concepts and an ability to present their work in a professional manner. The first two years are highly structured and are designed to give the participants basic technical skills in drawing, sculpture, painting, photography, and digital media (both word-processing and image manipulation), and a good understanding of the critical concerns and context of modern and contemporary art practice. The final two years are increasingly self-directed allowing participants to develop their particular focus in terms of medium and content. This builds upon research methods and skills developed in stages one and two, which allows participants to develop a similar self-directed approach to Critical Theory.
Notes
"Ireland bases its tuition rates on residence (3 of the last 5 years living in the EU) despite whether you're an EU citizen or not. In other words, only those who have resided in an EU country 3 of the last 5 years are eligible for the discounted rates."
