8 4 Welcome Welcome Welcome to the IADT prospectus. I hope you will consider coming to study at IADT. IADT is unique in Ireland; we have a clear vision and mission to specialise in creativity and innovation as expressed in the arts, technology and entrepreneurship. We work with learners as partners to develop graduates who are innovative, creative, entrepreneurial and adaptable, and who can meet the challenges of an ever changing digital age. Our interdisciplinary portfolio of programmes includes the creative arts, design, digital media, entrepreneurship, technology and applied psychology. This portfolio of subjects reflects the nature of our cross disciplinary learning environment and our innovative project work and engagement in the creative and cultural industries sector which portrays our unique vision and mission. What that would mean for you as a student is that you will be working in a creative, challenging and exciting environment, meeting and exchanging thoughts with students from other subjects to create innovative ideas and projects. Our programmes have your chosen subject or discipline at their core, but all are set within the unique IADT environment which blends the creative, the technical, and the digital space with good entrepreneurial skills. This experience is supported by our great staff many of whom are key leaders in their field. Amongst our staff, working to help you succeed in your programme are active researchers, technologists, developers, designers, creative practitioners, entrepreneurs and writers. IADT s Memorandum of Understanding with University College Dublin (UCD) has led to a new range of projects for our staff and students to work in partnership with UCD in areas such as Model making, Design and Psychology. We have also developed a number of other partnerships with organisations in the creative, cultural, technological and enterprise sectors. These offer real world experience and applied research opportunities for our students whether in the design and production of an opera, the running of a Dragons Den or the organisation of a conference on Cyberpsychology or Cultural Studies. Our new National Film School building opened in autumn 2013 offering state of the art film and television production and research facilities which are a great addition to the campus. Our National Film School lecture series offers all students at IADT the opportunity to hear from renowned actors, producers, filmmaker s, editors, animators and designers. The Institute is committed to providing the best opportunities for all of our students and IADT graduates have gone on to establish successful careers in a variety of professions. We are committed to providing programmes and training that provide the skills that are needed to meet and exceed the needs of industry and help move Ireland into the next stage of its development. Industry tells us they need graduates who are flexible, adaptable and creative and that those key skills are an important part of all IADT programmes. At IADT we are not just about offering you high quality programmes, we are committed to developing you as an individual, as an independent thinker who can think deeply and critically about the world in which you live, and make a valuable contribution to that world.

IADT graduates have been successful nationally and internationally in the Creative and Cultural Industries, in the Sciences and Arts, Technology and in the Business World, and have contributed to the social and political life of communities and nations. Some of our students want to go on to further study, and opportunities exist at IADT for further postgraduate study and research in each of the faculties in areas as diverse as Cyberpsychology, Visual Arts, Public Cultures, Event Management, Screenwriting and Broadcast Production. IADT is part of the European Erasmus exchange programme offering many students the opportunity to study part of their programme in a European institution. We currently have exchanges with a number of European countries including France, Germany, Spain, Finland Hungary, Portugal and Turkey. This year we have had a successful partnership with Canada and Brazil and have welcomed students from those nations onto campus. Many of our students travel to conferences and events, both national and international as part of their studies to learn and share ideas and practices with others. We know that making the transition and thriving in higher education can be challenging, and a comprehensive range of advice and support staff and services are available to you while you are at IADT to help you make the most of your studies and to support you through any difficulties. We also know that at IADT you will have an enjoyable social and cultural experience where you will make lifelong friendships. IADT has a thriving Student Union and a range of clubs and societies to help you to enjoy the social side of studying in Higher Education. The IADT campus also provides a beautiful and relaxing environment in which to study and belong. I look forward to welcoming you on campus for an exciting new journey that will offer you the chance to study the subject that is your passion, have new experiences and find new ways of thinking.

28 24 Staff Profile Staff Profile Jenny McDonnell Programme: BA (Honours) in English, Media and Cultural Studies I teach on the BA in English, Media and Cultural Studies (DL821). This innovative programme provides students with a range of transferable skills to meet the needs of the new economy. It is a really stimulating and challenging programme which involves the study of English Literature, Media and Cultural Studies. What I enjoy most about teaching on the programme is seeing the students enthusiasm and motivation as they develop critical reflective skills over their 4 years of study. The EMCS programme fosters independent thinking and enables students to engage with their chosen field of study in diverse and exciting ways, for example in our annual celebration of James Joyce Day. Students on the BA EMCS also have the opportunity to undertake part of their studies abroad on an Erasmus programme in the University of Rennes and University of Reims in France, where modules are delivered in both English and French. All in all, IADT is a unique higher educational institution. It offers a friendly, welcoming and dynamic learning environment. Our graduates have gained employment in a diverse range of industries including the culture and knowledge sectors. In recent times our graduates are successfully employed in journalism, advertising, publishing, human rights, business management, politics and advocacy, performance, public service, international research, film and television, and teaching. Our programme provides excellent training for graduates interested in pursuing postgraduate studies, Masters Degrees and PhDs.

30 26 Graduate Profile Graduate Profile Stephen Hughes Faculty of Enterprise and Humanities DL821 English, Media & Cultural Studies Further Study: MSc in Science Communication I graduated from English, Media and Cultural Studies (EMCS) in 2011, having returned to college at 27 as a mature student. I knew that I wanted to go to college to start my career, but I really didn t have any specific goals. My interests were broadly located in literature and film when I started. But after four years of learning about diverse aspects of contemporary culture through critical theory, identity politics and practical research, my interest shifted to science, culture and contemporary media. EMCS was an incredibly enriching experience with fantastic lecturers helping students develop a depth of critical and analytic thought that has been indispensable to me since embarking on my career. Immediately after IADT, I went to Dublin City University to study an MSc in Science Communication. This course supplemented my understanding of the role of the institutions of science in society and strengthened my communication skills. In the summer of 2012, I was successfully accepted as a paid intern at CRANN in Trinity College Dublin, a world class nanotechnology research institute. I work in the education and outreach department, making videos for industry, policymakers and the general public. My EMCS degree allows me to bring a depth of thought to the job which is simultaneously critical, creative and practical. This is crucial for such a specialised type of communication, which aims to clearly communicate complex and specialised ideas to a diverse range of people. I have just finished writing a PhD proposal about science communication, innovation, and culture; awaiting a response from a funding body with fingers firmly crossed. EMCS has allowed me to follow my passions while provided me with an expert set of skills in critical thinking and communication that has been central to my achievements so far. If I was to give any advice to a prospective student, it would be to value dedication and commitment, and to enjoy the learning experience. Appreciating education as an end in itself, rather than exclusively as a means of furthering a career, has been hugely rewarding for me. (Stephen has learnt that he was successful in his PHD application and he is now on full scholarship for his PhD in Science and Communication at DCU.)

34 30 Student Profile Student Profile Patrice Finneran Programme: BA (Honours) in Business Studies and Arts Management After leaving school I entered into a college with over 8500 students. I was overwhelmed with the vastness of its campus and structure as well as the lack of guidance I received. When entering IADT a year later I was astonished with the personable approach that all the Lecturers took with introducing students into the college atmosphere, through an introduction week, and secondly by taking the time to get to know each student. The first few weeks of college is an intimidating time for any student, through this interactive approach I got to know my classmates and make friends easily. The Business and Arts Management programme provides a platform to many different industries and opportunities. The modules range from theatre, film studies and arts policy to marketing, accounting, human resource and management. You inevitably leave with the skill set to enter any business situation, arts or otherwise. The tacit skills acquired within the course are the most valuable, with cross industry collaboration, approaching tasks creatively, working within groups and producing individual presentations, the course prepares you for any working environment. When entering IADT, the student support services make themselves known to the classes quite quickly offering support for personal and professional difficulties. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in my first year of entering IADT, and found a safe haven in the support given to me by the writing and research services. They support you as little or as much as you want, they provided me with a programme that was a huge help during my final year. My future will draw from the experiences and practical theory I learned at IADT. The broadness of the course means that I acquired the skill set to enter many different sectors. I first hope to travel and experience the delights of other cultures, when I return, I will work on bringing arts in education more dominantly into arts education in Ireland.
