International students applying to study art in Ireland must choose the right university or Arts school according to the specific art form they wish to learn. Each art school has different equipment and specialisations to help you learn.
Studio-based work is central to all Art courses and can include painting, sculpture, installation, painting, photography and digital media, with students specialising in their area of interest. Universities often invite professional artists and critics to talk to students and include a public display of final-year students' art and the professional artists' studio works.
Art graduates will move into careers in multimedia, publishing, advertising, museums, galleries, fashion, and the film industry, doing a wide range of roles, including photography, illustration, graphic design, interior design and website design.
Entry requirements vary for each Irish university, but overseas students will need an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, no lower than 6.0 in each component, and an International Baccalaureate score of 34 points. A personal portfolio of work is a must; some art schools prefer prior knowledge of art history and related subjects.
