Key Features

The Visual and Critical Studies programme from Technological University Dublin is aimed at graduates of visual culture, art history, design history, and philosophy of art. It is designed to provide graduate students with the opportunity for focussed study in contemporary visual culture, supported by archival and textual research.

The course is one of five delivered through the Creative Arts Masters Platform. Students on the MA Visual and Critical Studies course will join those on the studio-based courses in Interior Design, Visual Communications, 3-D Design, and Fine Art.
