Admissions Information

Find answers to frequently asked questions about our admissions process and programme requirements.

What should I include in my portfolio submission?
Your portfolio should contain 15-20 pieces representing your current abilities across different media. Include observational drawings, paintings, and any sculptural work. We value both technical skill and creative thinking, so include pieces that demonstrate both aspects of your artistic development.
Do I need previous formal art training to apply?
While formal training is beneficial, it's not strictly required. We evaluate each applicant based on their demonstrated ability, creative potential, and commitment to artistic development. Self-taught artists with strong portfolios are encouraged to apply.
What are the programme duration and schedule options?
Our programmes vary in length from intensive workshops to full academic year courses. Most students pursue our comprehensive foundation programme, which runs for one academic year with both full-time and part-time options available to accommodate different circumstances.
Are there opportunities for exhibition and professional development?
Yes, students regularly participate in group exhibitions and have access to professional development workshops covering portfolio presentation, exhibition preparation, and art business practices. We maintain connections with galleries and arts organisations throughout Ireland.
