BA (Hons) Contemporary Applied Art (Ceramics, Glass, Textiles) in Cork City Ireland | Munster Technological University

This interdisciplinary program focuses on three core material disciplines: ceramics, glass, and textiles, allowing students to specialize in one area or combine them. The curriculum fosters creativity and experimentation with materials while emphasizing hands-on skills, conceptual thinking, and independent research.

The modular course structure revolves around learning through practice, featuring: technical workshops, lectures, group discussions, one-on-one guidance, and self-directed study. During their final year, students create an original portfolio of high-quality work and complete a written thesis examining their work's intellectual context. A professional practice module, led by an international curator, prepares students for presenting their work professionally.

The program supports international exchange and internship opportunities. With outstanding facilities including specialized workshops, digital labs, private studios, and a dedicated art library—combined with instruction from practicing artists and educators—the College provides an inspiring environment for artistic development.
