University Certificate in Jewellery & Object Design

The Department of Continuing Education in Art and Design (CEAD) offers short courses, modules and accredited pathways to students who want to learn and acquire skills and knowledge in art and design.

CEAD offers flexible and accessible programmes in the spring, summer and autumn. Courses are for individuals at different levels to accommodate a range of interests and abilities. Students can select from multiple courses from portfolio preparation to upskilling in jewellery and object design, graphic design, textile printing, photography, or conceptual and observational drawing and painting courses.

The University certificate in Jewellery and Object Design is a part-time Level 7 programme. The course offers students an opportunity to experience the potential of making through sustained engagement with ideas, materials, design processes and technology. 

This programme introduces students to traditional and contemporary concerns underpinning jewellery design and encourages students to acquire skills, techniques and an understanding of the processes used in the fabrication of metal and jewellery design. Students can complete the programme, and progress to other modules, or continuing education within NCAD.
