Course Description
Education - PhD through Education - Research
The School of Education has a broad research remit in art, design and visual education including all levels of educational provision and is especially interested in encouraging innovative research approaches.
While the PhD through Education is normally by written thesis, the School considers applications which employ alternative media. Contacting the College in advance of submitting a proposal allows discussion of research themes with staff. Current Education PhD research interests include:
Visual Art Education in the Primary School Curriculum
Assessment in Art at Leaving Certificate level
Art and Design in National Curriculum Policy
Evental education and art practice
Culture, Collectivity and Globalisation: performing community in the arts.
PhD study normally requires a minimum of three years full-time study (but may require longer, given the high level of achievement required). The PhD thesis is typically 80,000 to 100,000 words in length.
The PhD programme at NCAD is a structured programme involving significant interdisciplinary and discipline specific input in the early stages of the research project, and active engagement with a community of researchers within and beyond NCAD.
