The MA in Art & Research Collaboration is open to applicants from various disciplines.
Applicants to ARC should have an undergraduate qualification of 2nd Class Honours or higher at Honours Degree level. Applicants who hold an undergraduate degree in a non-art discipline are welcome to apply and encouraged to seek advice in relation to project proposals. Applicants without degree-level qualifications may be considered provided they can demonstrate Honours Degree equivalence, which can be verified through the RPL (recognition of prior learning) process. For guidance on project proposals, and information on applying to ARC via the RPL process, please contact maeve.connolly@iadt.ie
Admission to the programme will be based on review of application materials and (in the case of eligible candidates) interview.
