MA in Visual Communications

Program Available at DIT Grangegorman

The MA Visual Communication program, run by the Dublin School of Creative Arts at DIT, offers a unique opportunity for focussed study in an interdisciplinary environment that mixes studio practice with intellectual and historical inquiry. The program is one of five delivered through the Creative Arts Masters Platform. Students on the MA Visual Communications program will join those on the other studio-based programs in Interior Design, Product Design, and Fine Art, and those on the Contemporary Visual Culture program, where students study the theory and criticism of contemporary visual culture or the history of art and design. The Platform allows specialization within a dynamic mix of practical and critical disciplines, placing particular emphasis upon practice engaged with critical and historical debate.
