Professor Sarah Glennie ∙ Director

NCAD WORKS 2025 provides a portal to the full breadth of work by our extraordinary graduates from across our four schools of Fine Art, Design, Education, and Visual Culture and encompasses students graduating from our broad range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and CEAD programmes.

We are extremely proud of this year’s graduating students who each in different  ways demonstrate NCAD’s belief in the vital contribution that creative practice makes to our society as a force that creates space for care, reflection, innovation and new thinking—all of which are essential to a cohesive and dynamic society and economy. 

NCAD’s graduates are the pipeline that drive Ireland’s creative and cultural sectors and their work will have an impact across society in years to come. 

Their own lived experience of our complex world is central to our graduates’ work.  As part of their journey, NCAD students have the opportunity to develop their creative practice beyond the walls of campus through long-term engagements with community partners and collaborators in a range of settings.  These collaborations expand their experience and understanding of key societal issues such as housing, cultural identity and social cohesion and climate crises, and are reflected in their final projects.

The work of this generation of NCAD students not only provides critical insights into society today, but also reminds us that the possibility of transformation exists with fresh, solution-focused thinking. Their creativity reinforces the power of art and design to influence and inspire real change. 

We hope you enjoy this digital experience of the work of our extraordinary graduates. 

We are extremely proud of all that they have achieved, and we look forward to following their creative journeys in the future.

BA Product Design

Product Design at NCAD is about shaping the world around us. It is about designing beautiful and functional products that help make the world a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable place. Product Designers from NCAD are celebrated by many of the world's leading design accolades, and our graduates have shaped the direction of healthcare, gaming peripherals, automotive design and many other iconic fields. 

The BA Product Design programme supports students to identify, explore and address a wide range of design challenges through three distinct approaches. Students can adopt an Open Human Centred Design approach to conduct real world research into complex situations and identify innovative design solutions with real impact. Other students pursue a New Product Development approach that is focused on a detailed prototyping and technical realisation of their work. The final approach seeks to make us reflect on the complex contemporary issues by raising questions and manifesting new possibilities through the language of Critical Design.

This year’s students explore a wide range of design briefs including reusable adrenaline injectors, innovative medical and wearable devices, inclusive educational tools, public urinals, hybrid musical instruments, and immersive experiences—demonstrating creativity and empathy in solving real-world challenges across diverse fields.
