This qualification mirrors the American Post Baccalaureate program and is commonly referred to as the 'Post Bac'. Participants enroll as students at both Burren College of Art and University of Galway. The program collaborates with London's Royal College of Art and Chicago's School of the Art Institute, with both institutions contributing visiting faculty members.
