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.

The Professional Master of Education (PME) is a two-year master’s programme which leads to a professional qualification to teach Art and Design at second level. The conceptual framework that underpins the delivery of the PME programme operates on the principle that art teacher education is not centrally concerned with the teaching of art, or teaching about art, but rather is expressly committed to teaching through art.

The question, "What does it mean to teach and make art that is of and for our time?" anchored the PME cohorts’ experience of the programme. It was explored through many facets, including their design and delivery of the curriculum in post primary education; research inquiries and learning encounters that involved peer learning, inclusive education, and engaging with the gallery as a pedagogical site.

The programme is orientated around a sustained immersion in one’s practice as artists and designers. Essentially, how they think, contextualise, and make work as artists and designers informs their methodology as future teachers. The annual Change Lab experience and exhibition in the NCAD Gallery gives the student teachers the opportunity to do just that.

The Change Lab was designed as a model of practice to integrate Global Citizenship Education (GCE) into the heart of learning of the PME programme. Since its inception in 2016, The Change Lab has evolved as an innovative pedagogical, research, and exhibition event where contemporary social and political issues are considered and critically pursued through collaborative art-making, scholarly inquiry, and exhibition.

The Change Lab instils in our artist-teachers a strong commitment and motivation to teach for social justice and sustainability, through the lens of their practice as artist, researcher and teacher.

The Change Lab website  https://thechangelab.ie was created to showcase the artist teachers lab experience and the multiple layers that the project involves.The site also acts as a pedagogical repository and a digital archive for past iterations of the Change Lab experience. 

Our film below captures the evolution of the students' working process to present how they research, respond and articulate the visual art curriculum through a GCE lens.
